Very happy memories of Dad playing this on the car tape deck on long drives. Weird but strangely brilliant.

[Crucial]

Solid, solid bassline.

This got a new audience after the Queen's Gambit.

@dogmeat IIRC this was the first release for Virgin Records?

[mariner4life]

Musically the best heavy metal band ever, playing on what i consider their best album

chock full of signature Maiden, the 40 seconds from about 2:30 is incredible

[mariner4life]

It was, which made the early sampler/compilation album from the label ( Virginity) rather weird having Oldfield inserted among the tracks from the Sex Pistols, PiL, Skids, Magazine and XTC.

I’m really disappointed in myself that I haven’t already shared this.

Every member of Maiden is an absolute virtuoso at what they do and they still sound incredible live.

Jeepers some of ya’ll are sharing some absolute bangers from my past it must be said. The track after this one is brilliant too wouldn’t wanna be like you but doesn’t count cos of the singing.

@mn5 Yeah, I wouldn't want to be like you is a fucking huge tune! Gets played by loads of DJs.

Interesting question as to where is the crossover from "instrumental" to techno or other electronic music?
