“No Way Back” production started with the basslines first, then the drums with the use of the roland TR-808. One day, Adonis was going to studio and Gary B. was with him, so Adonis told him to do the vocals, because he wanted Gary to be a famous DJ like Ron Hardy and Farley (Jackmaster Funk).
The metalic, futuristic vocals - “Release my Soul, I’ve lost control! Release my Soul, I’ve lost control! Too far gone! Too far gone… Ain’t No Way Back!” suggested quite a lots of interpretations. According to the author, it was like getting lost in the sound of music to a point where you can’t find your way back to being normal again. Once you was introduced to the sound, you changed for life; your thinking would be expanded into other dimensions forever. That’s what Adonis music was all about.
As soon as Adonis finished recording “No Way Back”, Marshall Jefferson heard it; he wanted Adonis to give him the demo tape so that Marshall could have it on an Virgo EP; Marshall Jefferson knew that it would be a big record even before Adonis did, but the author said no, he didn’t want to.
Sometime after that, Adonis was at the largest party of the year, and he had the “No Way Back” track on tape. A DJ name Larry Thompson was DJing that night. That’s exactly when Adonis found out he was going to have an effect in the Chicago scene. Steve Silk Hurley had just introduced one of his newest track to the fans at the party, and no one had ever heard “No Way Back” before. After playing Hurley’s track, Larry Thompson asked Adonis if he could play “No Way Back”, so he played, and the whole place lost their minds. All the DJs asked what the f*ck was that, who made that track - then Larry Thompson told Adonis, that he’ was on the map now.

Armand van Helden sampled this heavily, but gave it just respect, on Hybridz off of the Killing Puritans album.
