This masterpiece was made by Phil and Paul Hartnol, two brothers from Sevenoaks in Kent. They made it in their bedroom when they were attending Wilderness School for Boys. We all used to go to a Youth Club called Raileys in Sevenoaks. Lovely guys. Banging tune when it came out and still not lost its touch. Amazing work.

For me, this is the one record i've heard that clearly displays the transition from 80s to 90s music. Beautiful.
