It's the first single from his new album "I sing the body electro" coming out soon... Has he been releasing anything since the Mantronix days (apart from the FSOL We have explosive remix)? ***Here's the tracklisting for the CDR I have (not sure if it's the same as the commercial version): Kurtis Mantronik--"Mad" (Oxygen Music Works) 1. Mantronik V. Geek (radio) 2. Mantronik V. Geek 3. Killer Robot Formula (radio) 4. Bleeker Street Hip Hop Formula 5. Mantronik V. Quest Geek and Quest are two new UK artists and their versions with Mantronik come off as sounding like Prodigy wannabees, very agressive and "what the hell happened to the KM we know and love?" Lets hope the album isn't like those. The Killer Robot and Bleeker Street mixes are both different from themselves and the Geek/Quest collaborations--more rhythm oriented (the BS version ain't hip hop, though) and true to the KM sound, yet a progression. Most of his stuff other than this are chock full of old school samples and it seems likes he's just getting used to the sounds of electronic music in 1998.
