      Just got hold of a copy in perfect nick for £3.00!!, I got hold of a Sasha essential mix recently from 1995, and he started the 2nd half off with "Star Of David" which I loved from first listen.

      They just don't make tracks like this anymore epic and pumping.

      "The Blessing" is a quality track too tribally with acid gently bubbling through, a quality two tracker.

        Blue Amazon's second release on Jackpot is another example of superb epic progressive house that sounds just as good now, as it did 10 years ago when it was originally released. Blue Amazon were definitely ahead of their time. "Star Of David" is an epic piece of house that progresses in movements similar to piece of classical music. The dreamy opening strains remind one of Orbital's "Halcyon", but mood is quickly turned sober with a sinister bassline and thumping beat. The music builds to a riveting crescendo midway through the track, before moving into the songs main melody and slowly dropping out. "The Blessing" is a manic tribal number unlike any other track in Blue Amazon's catalog. Several layers of looped ethnic drums frame a simple but catchy bassline, with slices of acid melody hitting at just the right moments. Excellent stuff. Strangely, neither of these tracks were featured on the duo's eventual full length album despite the plug on the vinyl sleeve (see the notes).
