In the day of its infancy, the stunt performer's profession was pioneered by the daring and ingenuity of acrobats and circus acts. As the public's demand for on-screen chases, crashes, jumps, smashes and explosions is never satisfied, so the stunt performer has evolved into a highly trained professional. This is not a life for the timid. This is where men and women challenge the impossible and make it happen before your eyes.

I'm really happy you're refreshing this classic album with a slick new visualiser! loving your new fatlantic stuff as well, it's very rare for similar artists to stay true to their genre 20 years later. big respect Rob

Hey Rob, is there any way of getting the full version of Basstrap? I remember hearing a version with an extended ending a long time ago.

Hi there, I think there was a longer version but I’m not able to release any of the Sony stuff... it’s possible it was on an earlier EP but I’m not sure. Sorry, not much help really! Thanks though.
