Their most recent release was the 'Times Fly' EP. However, Internal have just re-released (on CD only), three old EPs - containing Halcyon, Sunday, Midnight, Belfast etc etc The three albums are also being made available at a 'special low price' As for new stuff - their new album is apparently scheduled for a January release, and according to Mixmag Update, they have gone back to a more dance-oriented feel...

Is "Mutations" one of those 'etc etcs'? If not, then has this ever appeared on cd? Or will it? scte. christopher miller evil@ddi.digital.net on now: THE BITNIKS - "Halograms"

"Halcyon," "Midnight," and "Belfast" all initially appeared on different EP's, so I'd guess not.

Please read Lazlo's discog at http://www.swcp.com/~lazlo/Discographies.html To answer your question, there was a 'Mutations' CD, but there are several Mutations tracks available only on vinyl (the only one of which I'd really care to have being the MBM mix of "Oolah").

I found a used copy a couple of weeks ago and snagged it. But I agree that it'd be nice to see some of that other stuff on disc... don't know if they plan on re-releasing it or not. Greg

I have the CD. In fact if you can track down my review, you'll find a review.

It isn't that great. Nor are the other missing tracks. The first, remixed by Dave Angel and Dave Dorrell (Chime Crime). They use liberal samples of "The Mission" theme and never quite work it in a satisfactory manner. The second, the "Ray Keith" mutation of "Chime" is really horrible. I seem to recall P&P telling me that they hated it as well (excuse the drop). The Moby remix of "Speed Freak" is one of my all-time favorites. Guaranteed to blow up any dance floor.

Meat Beat covering World Domination Enterprises?!? Do tell. Between MBM, WDE and Renegade Sound Wave, the late 80's had some very good moments indeed. I was starting to think that having a cool 3-world band name was de rigeur. Oh, does that "Whew" mean that you're glad it's not going to be on the US release? :-) - Greg On now: Orbits Vol. 1 comp on Out Of Orbit (Dave Clarke/Leo Anibaldi/etc.)

Yeah, ain't it great? I haven't heard MBM's version yet, but I can definitely see Jack pulling this off. This song was actually recorded sometime near the start of 1994, and at the beginning of this year there were tentative plans on releasing it as a single. This was scrapped and now a newer track, "Nuclear Bomb", is headlining the previously planned e.p. I'm not sure of the track-listing, but when I do find out I will post it.

Oh, no. It just meant that it felt good to finally post (to this list) what I have known about for a long time now. I guess I never got around to it... I mean we talk about it enough on the MBM list. Whether or not a certain mix appears on both a domestic and import release is unimportant to me. As a MBM completionist, I end up buying it all anyway. For the rest of you non-collectors though, you might want to check out the PIAS release just for this track. A 'jungle' mix does sound mighty appetizing. wehw. christopher miller evil@ddi.digital.net on now: "Morphogenetic Fields" - Atom Heart
