THANKS. I've been wondering about this for a long time.
Sounds good!

Wow I expected this one to be really good. I really liked the PCM 12"
on Possible and I thought the PCM remix of Scorn was really great.

Is this cd anything like Quoit?

I think the Pet 2000 12" is one of my favorites. The Badger Bite track
is excellent!! All of Surgeon's albums are really good. The latest one
Balance is probably the best because there is alot more variety. 

I also really like the Surgeon - Muggerscumout 12"(Soma)

The Surgeon remix of Dave Clarke - Storm was great! 

You might try and look for the Surgeon - Balance Remakes 12" because
Mick Harris remixes that one. 

Cheers

If you are looking for other hard minimal 12"s, definitely pick up
Jeff Mills - Mecca ep (Axis) and Kat Moda (Purposemaker). They are
both classic!!!
