Reload keeps showing up on remixes, for instance, on Nav Katze's "Never
Mind The Distortion" and a coupla others that I can't definitely name w/o
looking at the CD case. However, I haven't enjoyed any of these remixes
nearly as much as ACOSS - they sound much more like the early Reload
singles - minimalist crunchy beats, rather than soundtrack w/
occasional crunchy beats on ACOSS. Their releases as Link sound more
like Reload on ACOSS.
I for one am baffled by Mark & Tom's release strategy - I thought
GlobComm had massive potential as an ambient band and limited potential
as a cliched house band. Now it seems that Pelusha is their ambient
imprint. Why they need 2 drum&bass monikers i.e. Chameleon / Chaos &
Julia Set, I'don't know. Then there's Jedi Knights, Warp69, and E621,
and others that I don't know about, I'm sure. I can understand having
more than one musical personality, but this is ridulous. FSOL used to do
this too, but I think it finally sank in that they were only diluting
their brand name. I wish MP & TM would quit "goofing off" so much and
focus on GlobComm & C&JS, though I'm sure I'll hear howls of protest at
the suggestion that Jedi Knights be canned.
I can't confirm where I read the 2xCD rerelease announcement, but I know
it was within the past week, probably on a Future Releases list.
