Bomb the Bass lit the fuse on the Clear era with "Bug Powder Dust", out in September 1994 as the opening shot from the third Bomb the Bass album, which finally landed in 1995. Tim Simenon holds the credit for words and music, but the voice up front belongs to guest Justin Warfield, with Doug Wimbish on bass and Dave Clayton on keyboards thickening a groove that's all murk and menace.
Issued on Island Records, it got to 24 in the UK and 34 in Australia, and Select magazine crowned it single of the year for 1994. Alex Winter directed the video, an Apocalypse Now-style trip upriver in Belize.
