In "Wipeout" on the original Playstation there's the famous "Firestarter" song by Prodigy. It's the, slowed down, amen break too I think:

Killer track but technically Firestarter isn't Drum and Bass (or Jungle). Prodigy slowed everything down after Experience (first album).

A real turning point for The Prodigy turning it from a producer-driven dance act into a proper band with a lead singer. Flint created a job in the act for himself not once but twice.
