Although I have "The Next Chapter of Dub" I don't have "How Ya Doin" so I
can't comment on "The Next..." being a remix album, BUT I do have both
"Soundclash" and "In Dub" and if you think that having 3 remixes and the
other 7 remaining tracks being totally unrelated to "Soundclash" a remix
album I think you're sorely mistaken.

One of the guy's left the band at that point, if my memory serves me
correctly.

Was it the four-piece band including the Jamacian on turntables, a guy on
bongos and other wierd and wonderful drums, a guitarist (who i'll admit
was a poser but played his guitar extremely well in the context of the
type of music) and of course the keyboards, et al??
Maybe because there we other bands when you saw them on the same bill, and
the fact that they might have been tired from over-touring? They had one
Sydney gig, blew the top off the venue and returned to England. I'd go as
far as saying that this was one of the best gigs I have ever been too, and
I have been to some big ones.
It was like all the bests bits from the 1st 2 albums + the last x 10! :)
As for deja vu... you have a good memory. :)
Regards,
John
