Comments: Magazine - FACT/130BPM (Andrew Ryce) Rating: 4/5 10.06.10 20:23 Favorite Track: Guide This is a weird one. I don't know if it's really my thing but it has its place... A-side is bizarre, steampipe pressure grooves. Remixes do not really improve on the original, just take away from its charming idiosyncrasy.
