The Mu-ziq mix is ok. for most of the
track mike keeps it close to original but
gives it more of a spooky feel by taking out
the breakbeat percussion and slowing down
the vocals. Mike also adds random 
crazy processing of bjork's vocals and the
occassional addition of some sparce squelchy, 
crunchy rephlex-style percussion. the cdep #1
is ok but i much prefer the Fatcat 12" because
ther Funkstroung b-side is so good.

The second Bjork: Hunter cdep contains 
remixes by Beck and Gus Gus. The Beck mix
is of her track called Alarm Call. He gives it's
a cheesy electronic sound that's really all over
the board but that's Beck's thing. The real
gem is the Skothus remix of Hunter by Gus
Gus. The Gus Gus guys drop almost all of
the original and rework Hunter into a great 
4x4 techno track sounding like something
that Gez Varley or Mark Bell would come
up with. I never realized that Gus Gus were
so accomplished at techno.
