I got a copy at Sister Ray records in Soho.  The Autechre remix is
wicked - A great autechre style fucked-up hip hop beat with some
Yeesland-style washes. Like most Autechre remixes, there doesn't seem to
be much influence of the original treck.  The other tracks on the EP
can't compete really.  I haven't listened to them that much.
I also picked up a promo of the latest Mira Calix single (sorry Franz
Enmark, but it was the last copy).  Bit disappointed with this.  The
Mira Calix originals aren't in the same class as her previous release. 
More low-fi, and the vocals are kind of irritating.  Some of the
textures are nice though - I wasn't suprised to read today that it was
done with Mark Clifford, very Seefeel-y.  Unfortunately, Chantal's voice
isn't a patch of Ms. Peacock's.  The mixes are better though, good to
listen to when stoned or drifting off to sleep.
