I'm going to suggest another tune that (for obvious reasons) is similar to The First Rebirth:
DJ Franky Jones - Overwhelming Rain (Jones & Stephenson remix)
It's from (late) 1994, and it has a breakdown, but only for 1 minute.
Nostrum (on Time Unlimited) uses a similar choir synth as The First Rebirth on many different tunes, but none really have a breakdown of any kind. I know that Commander Tom - Are Am Eye fits your discription pretty well, but it's from 1995 (and Nigel Walker would probably have remembered the name when asked anyway

)

I haven't followed this lead because it confuses me. Was this track played in 1993/94? The trend with long build-ups really started a little later, around 1995, so I can't think of any hardcore / hardtrance track that fits this description (at least none that sound like The First Rebirth). OK, skippping genre to acid trance, how about this one:
Solar Quest - Into The Machine (I Need To Sit Down After That One)
Strange. The A side on my copy of CC005 lasts 14 minutes, not 12... Anyway, the breakdown sounds very similar to The First Rebirth.
