Was it really necessary to put two seperate anvil vapre remixes on there,
too? I mean, I like the song .. but I liked it a lot more before I heard the
tape a few times. In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, there's three
autechre tracks on there, while no other group has more than one, unless you
count close up over and plaid as the same.. 

And another thing. My copy of the tape has a little pink sticker on the
outside that says "track   side 2: aphex twin "ventolin" (deep gong mix)
taken from, etc, etc" 

However, that track isn't even on the tape. What a confusing situation.

noah
