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
