The one you've found is the Planet E version of ART1. As far as I've
heard (this could be a wholly insubstantial rumour, so don't take my word
for it :) Carl Craig and Kirk DeGiorgio made some sort of a deal that
Planet E would release A.R.T. domestically in the US and in exchange there
would be Planet E material released on A.R.T. in the UK. This produced
PEART1 on Planet E, the one you have, and Craig's Psyche/BFC EP (ART3) on
A.R.T. But, there are three different versions of ART1: the original one
(A.R.T. ART1 12" 1991/2?) with the track listing
Balil: Nort Route (remix)
Atypic: Blah
Future/Past: Clinically Inclined (remix)
As One: Amalia
and the Planet E one (Planet E PEART1 12" 1992)
Balil: Nort Route
Future/Past: Clinically Inclined
Esoterik: Interiors
_and_ finally, the R&S version, (R&S Records RS92010 12" 1992) as
Future/Past: ART 1 EP (of which I don't have a track listing because I
don't have that one, I have only the A.R.T. and Planet E versions - but
the R&S version does have a different track listing so I'd like to have
that one, too :). And of course there's the 4x12" compilation of the
first four A.R.T. releases, Objets d'A.R.T. on New Electronica (ELEC9LP,
1994) that has a repress of the original ART1 (allegedly from the same
plates, even).
From my point of view, you have found a pearl (unless Planet E has
started repressing their back catalogue). And yes, Nort Route is probably
one of the best Balil tracks right after Choke And Fly (on ART2.2).
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything so that I'll
have something more to obsess about, especially the exchange between
Planet E and A.R.T.
Cheers,
