Finally got the answer.
There is an earlier CD on this label, DRCD1, which contains the original
track,
Medium - Celsius, and the writing credit is something else (I think it was
"Hobson" but my memory is unclear from seeing it in the shop.)
Admittedly it's an unusual way of crediting the writing on a remix, even
for Ae who almost always create a practically new track from remnants of
the original. (They have in fact stated this as their method of going about
a remix project)
