    Ok, no comment since 8 years! Is it silent years? For sure not. 2 classics in 2 different genres. 'Gonk' being the bleepy/acid-houseque techno rave anthem and 'Wisdom To The Wise' an eternal biomechanic wavy festival/night transgenerational 'pay hommage to the D' dubby/techno anthem. All-in. A cascade of true techno spirit, in the best years of techno... The year Fuse was founded. In other , a voyage between Belgium and United Kingdom trought Detroit. You know the rest... It's on the wax and amongst your synapses.

      If you were into techno in 1994 you couldn't escape this tune. And rightly so :)

        This record has one of the best engineered kick drums I've ever heard.

        King Unique did a bootleg remix back in about 2002/3 that had the acapella from https://discogs.cinepelis.org/PathFeat-Marcel-Praying/master/159306 layered over a restructured WTTW with slightly softer tribal percussion. I don't think it was released though but I have an acetate and used to drop it late on to a good response in prog/tech house sets.

          Just like alexcolwill mentions in his comment below. I'll also concur that I've never heard this being played in a house set. This is a straight up, perfectly constructed, piece of techno power which would've had the regular house heads of the period run for cover!

            Danced to this at the Zap in Brighton in 1995. This is one of my top ten techno records, I can't believ it goes so cheap here. Listen to the drums , it is superbly engineered by Clarke!

              Wisdom to the Wise was (is) an absolute killer track. As has been said though, I certainly don't recall it being played in many house sets back in the early-mid 90s. It's a stone cold techno classic.

                Massive Techno tune of the mid 90's . Brings back the memories of Dave clarke doing his essential mix on Radio One ' The Baron of Techno ... bomb bastic '

                  Wisdom to the wise by Mr Clarke Possibly the most memorable techno track ever recorded EVER.

                    Unfortunately the re-press is indeed transparent vinyl which makes the sound quality quite poor (coloured transparent vinyl is mostly inferiour quality). That's a pitty and keeps me searching for the original pressings ;-)
                    But...a killer record everybody should have in their collection.

                      I have the original with 1000 scratches on it ( record was played in every set I did ). Sometime ago I went to Amsterdam, bought a brand new Bush red two - repressed - and noticed a difference in color. The originals are non-transparent and the repress is transparent red. This is the only difference . The labels are completely similar.
