Comments:
M|A|R|R|S was a one-hit wonder, (as I understand it) a group of five DJ:s who, much like Bomb The Bass around this time, made it big with a track built almost exclusively on samples of other artists. Of course they got sued, mainly by the main hit factory at the time, Stock-Aitken-Waterman (produced a million soundalike artists like Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Mel & Kim etc.) for some heavy sampling off their track 'Road Block' (the first track released under the producers' own names). Frankly, as I remember it, the 'Road Block' samples were by no means the most significant of the track, but I may have forgotten about this. Still, most people more or less exactly my age probably remembers this track - any older and they dismissed it as a fad (which, in a sense, it was) and any younger they just weren't aware of pop music.
Track 3 is a rather forgettable filler, a more standard pop-like tune which is nothing like the techno/dance/pop of the main track. 1993 rerelease.
