To be me... To be...





And I know, and I... And I know, and I...

Classic tune, bought the album when it first came out

@DanioOoX As with any genre, it goes through an evolutionary process. I love the old stuff, and I love much of the new stuff, but for different reasons. There's certainly no way I could fully appreciate the current stuff the way I do if the 90s stuff from Hype, Zinc, etc. hadn't gotten me into the genre.
