    Whether the a-side is just a joke or a new proof of the weird taste of Westbam remains to be explained (the best never been far form the worse with him!), but the "My Baby" track is what makes this release a killer classic, one of those b-sides that entered history against all odds.
    This is a brilliant and weird downtempo object, that is based around the famous sonic bleep of Pierre Henry's "Psyche Rock" with a sample of the voice of George Harrison, if I'm right. It is a hell of a track, that catches you immediately in its web, slow and hypnotizing, that provides a strange feeling of irreality, like a psyche trip. Essential, oh yes! even if Alligators having fun ain't!

      This is one strange release for Low Spirit. WestBam (one of the founders of Low Spirit Records) has a great sense of humor, which is why I think this one is released. "Alligators have fun" is a noizy track which sounds like the President may have even sampled Westbam. The "alligators have fun" sample sounds like it might be Afrika Bambata, but I can't imagine why he would say that. Another sample sounds like Johnny "Rotten" Liden. "My Baby" is even stranger. I've never really heard a track like this before. The "my baby" sample sounds like it was sampled from a 50's singer - maybe Jerry Lee Lewis. It is slower tempo with a strange drum beat (70's rock?) and some ska sounding horns coming in and out. I bought this release because I was a Low Spirit collector and tried to get everything they released on all labels. This record was pretty much unusable on the dancefloor.
