BBC review - "Fabric 55 is so well programmed that these miniature movements aren’t immediately discernible. When one does become apparent, it’s as if the album shifts into a new form to be freshly enjoyed. Its moments of light – the minimalist dancehall organ stabs on International Fires – and dark – the eerily uninflected biblical quotations on penultimate track Massacre – are emblematic of its overall effect: bold and galvanising."

The 2001 track "Theme from Discotheque" is by David and Stephen Dewaele from Soulwax (aka 2 many DJs aka Flying Dewaele Brothers), behind the name Samantha Fu. They produced this track for a Ghent-based dancegroup called Kung Fu. Brilliant sampling and lyrics!
