Just read a short blurb about this in the Face. Some tracks are songs from the "Second..." album with different names (ex. "Mosaic" = "Confusion the Waitress") and I suppose a different mix altogether; and other tracks are indeed new stuff.

This isn't the fault of the record companies... in the UK, there is some sort of regulation imposed on music manufacturers that limits the length of "singles" to forty minutes (otherwise they become albums). This is why there was Ventolin 1 & 2 in the UK, but one, single, fifty odd minute Ventolin in the US. Stupid rule. ___________________________________ http://home.inreach.com/sugatis/index.html

--Yeah, "The Blue Room" by the Orb sort of gave that rule the two-finger salute, by being 39minutes and 59seconds. That sucks Pearls Girl is like that. I recently saw the "Rowla" single, and it had absolutely no changes on it. If Underworld are going to release a single with no remixes, why don't they at least make it a longer, or different in some way, version? Uhh, later.... ---------------------- James Benjamin Gill jgill@u.arizona.edu check it on the www - peace.
