The first drum & bass song I ever heard. I was raised a significant amount by a family friend of ours who was always playing and going on about the merits of classical music, so I didn't have very much contact with music like this. Then when I was about 13, a friend played me this off his iPod in the back of a car and my music tastes were forever changed.
