Issued as RAMM34, the record arrived during a particularly strong period for RAM Records, when the label was helping define the harder, technical and forward-thinking sound of UK drum \u0026amp; bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSide A – Body Rock is the standout title track, built around a heavyweight drum \u0026amp; bass rhythm and memorable electronic hooks, with dialogue sampled from the science-fiction film \u003cem\u003eStarship Troopers\u003c\/em\u003e adding to its futuristic character. The track became one of Shimon and Andy C's best-known collaborations and was a regular presence in DJ sets during the early-2000s drum \u0026amp; bass scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSide B – Orient Express provides the perfect counterpart, delivering another driving, club-focused drum \u0026amp; bass workout.

The original 12-inch was released in September 2001, with later RAM represses appearing subsequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody Rock – 6:28\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOrient Express – 7:02\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CK9xc0P9EfU?si=jM3Q5DHAdL-aOTxo\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RAM Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55538247958870,"sku":"RAMM34","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_10f99584-b5cf-4f06-a3aa-e8613bcfb666.jpg?v=1790759311","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/shimon-andy-c-body-rock","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
