I would go that far about the PCM remix being the absolute best jungle tune. It was certainly pretty awesome. If there are an IDM people that haven't heard the Scorn remix cd Ellipses, you should definitely look for it! With remixes from Autechre, Coil, Meat Beat Manifesto, PCM, and Bill Laswell.

because Mick Harris remixes that one.

The Mick Harris remix is downbeat and doesn't really sound like Surgeon. I would have to say it sounds more like Harris. Definitely look for more Surgeon he has put out some great stuff.
