Hello,
I'm not too sure if this has been up here before, but I've just
had Apollo 440's Liquid Cool 12" (Sonic Stealth SSXT3), which also
has remixes from Deep Forest, Future Sound of London and Jah Wobble,
and being a bit of a FSOL completist, I thought this was a must have.
Well, actually the FSOL mix with its heavy hip (trip?) hop drum loops
and even heavier guitar driven (yikes!) melody line failed to meet my
expectations; have heard this kind of thing one too many times
lately... Still, looking forward to that 'ISDN' album -- don't let me
down this time, guys :) The Jah Wobble mix was kinda funny, with
_that_ bass sound we have learned to know and love, and its sudden
change of tempo in mid-song, which made it sort of trancey in a
twisted way. Weird :) The Deep Forest mix offered even less surprises,
so the prize must go to Apollo 440's own 'Theme For Cryonic Suspension'
version in all its 12 minute sci-fi epic glory. Haunting, to say the
least; also love those droning synths, whispered vocals and that
lingering piano line. Music to get in suspended animation by.
I guess there must be an older version of this, because on my 'Rumble
EP'('93) there's already a remix version. Anyone to know better?

a good cause :)
