Some of the remixes are a bit err flat, but the Squarepusher, Phoenicia and Trapezoid mixes all brilliant. I kind of wish Fila Brazillia had been brought in on this project though.... :) And speaking of Fila Brazillia, more remix spotting: Sven Vath's new single, Fusion/Scorpio's Move (12" on Ultra Records) has two Fila Brazillia mixes on the b-side of Fusion. Their recent remix for Irresistable Force's Nepalese Bliss is even cooler. Aaron
