"Hmmm. What can I say about this track that will make you all rush out and buy it. Probably not much right? After all, here I am, an Aussie girl down under that doesnt know much. Right? Wrong! Ratpack's "Captain of the Ship" is an anthem. It represents an age of raving, dancing and pre-Anna-Wood conservatism to a generation of X-ers who feel that the old-skool is the only school. Captain of the Ship is a song that we danced to on walkmans on the way to work, in CD players in our bedrooms and blaring in the biggest and best of Sydney raves in the mid 1990's. And it recently had its 15 minutes of fame all over again. That's right. A reincarnation in the form of "Once upon a time" in Sydney's own "Angel Place" And if you were there, you dug it. But if you were there, and you knew it already from the old-skool days, lets just say that this song made quite a few people that evening...ecstatic. May the old-skool never die, and techno be remembered before the days of teeny bop and Here's Johnny!"
