I’m with Bee, that whole H100 record is solid (picked up a Nick Heyward solo record just last week).

Oh if I'd seen this I'd have been tempted to vote Bill Nelson as that track has been a minor latter-day revelation. Terrific proto-techno production, sounds like Neuropolitique or something. Check the extended mix.
