Don't know much about Messiah but liked some of their early tunes. Temple of Dreams (with vocal sample from This Mortal Coil's cover of "Song to the Siren", sample spotters!), I Feel Love, Thunderdome are ones I have. Great fun noisy rave stuff! Eon (Ian Loveday) was a real rave pioneer, his early tracks were sample collages like so many of his peers, but they wer damn good ones and pretty soon his individual style became clear - quite dark, intense and energetic. You know the spoken samples in "Spice" are from "Dune" I take it.? Yes the riff is definitely "influenced" by WTIL isn't it? The track was co-produced with J.Saul Kane AKA Depth Charge Eon carried on making wicked electro and techno until 2007 but sadly died in 2009

I was re-listening to 21st Century Jesus by Messiah the last couple dsys. Anybody like these guys? I never got their second album because I heard it was kinda awful. There are a lot of similarities to the KLF's kind of house music. Thunderdome gives me all kinds of flashbacks (the good kind, hehe).
Youtube had "The Spice Must Flow" by EON linked and I'd never heard this before--it sure sounds an awful lot like What Time Is Love. Is there any backstory about that song that anyone knows?
