  6. I-Level -- Minefield 12"

    We recently watched the docco Record On: New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies on SBS. It’s worth a watch. Of particular interest was an interview with Arthur Baker, who mentioned that he had been working with I-Level at the time.

    I used to love I-Level. I’ve got three of their singles, but has always been my favourite.

    Minefield was such a massive tune in its day. The sound of being 17 for me.

    I still frequently get the B-side, Number 4 as an earworm. It's been 40-odd years now.

    This 12” has the added bonus of having the best mix of their other big tune, Give Me, on it.

    I used to live with a cat who would use my records as a scratching post. The sleeve of this record is evidence of that.
