I've heard the 12". I actually preferred the first mix, which from memory is the rhythmic phonetics one. It kept quite a solid beat, with the vocals being cut up, but within phrases. So the lyrics were still distinct, just one step more nonsensical. :) The other mix has some long passages where everything breaks down to slurring passages of digitally edited vocals. I didn't really enjoy it, so I didn't pay much attention. Both remind me of Autechre's approach to remixes of late - primarily digitally reworking extant phrases of the original song, with a new rhythm. And no, I'm not slagging Matmos for being derivative!
