Hello, I bought the Chris and Cosey Twist remix album a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. I was wondering if I am merely in love with great remix work or would I also like the originals. Obviously with remixes by Carl Craig, Paradinas (?-ziq and Tusken), Vapourspace, and Coil among others, I expect that the remixes are quite different from the originals. Can someone familiar with their work give a brief review/comparison? thanks, jon

When I bought the Polygon Window album, the first thing I thought of was Chris & Cosey, whose *Trance* album travelled in similar territory back in 1982. If you are into the experimentally distortedly atmospheric side of dance music (e.g. Afx, Locust, Muslimgauze, Disjecta), you would do well to track this one down. Yum!
