The CD single contains 5 mixes- the LP version, a Guy Called Geral putting out
a junglistic version, a funky version by someone else, and a 4/4 vaguely
technoish remix by Carl Craig. Finally theres a string arrangement by
"Instrumental" which is like a piece of "classical" string quartet music.
So loads of variety, though I get the feeling that the Orb's identity is being
lost here. This EP seems to have doubled in one fell swoop the number of
outside remixers who have accessed Orb tracks (maybe not quite that bad but I
can only think of Oakey's Perpetual Dawn, Mad Professor's Towers and DeWulf's
Blue Room.)
btw The 4 remixes are spread across 2 12inchers - not such good value as the CD
by any means,
