Kind of. Overall, SoP remixes are rarely as good as say the stuff off their Haunted Dancehall album, but they are still often in the dark dubby and digital vein.

Sabres of Paradise = Andy Weatherall, Jagz Kooner, Gary Burns. 2 Lone Swordsmen = Andy Weatherall + Keith Tenniswood. Red Snapper = David Ayers, Richard Thair, , Ali Friend, Ollie Moore. So there is no direct connection between SoP and Snapper. Richard Thair used to be in the Aloof, who were produced by Kooner and Burns of Sabres, so there's a link. Basically, the above lot all used to be (Weatherall parted company with Kooner & Burns, disbanding SoP and forming 2 Lone Swordsmen) or still are mates. Other links between them all are that the first David Holmes LP was produced by Kooner & Burns, but the second by Keith Tenniswood, and that they all often record at Orinoco. Gb.
