Biokinetics is a compilation of sorts compiling
tracks from three previous Chain Reaction Porter 
Ricks 12"s:

. Porter Ricks: Port of Transition 12" (Chain Reaction/CR 003)
. Porter Ricks: Nautical Dub/Tidal Mix 12" (Chain Reaction/CR 014)
. Porter Ricks: Port of Nuba 12" (Chain Reaction/CR 009)

All three of the above 12"s as well as the cd came out in 1996.

The Porter Ricks cd on on Force Inc is also a comp
cd of sorts. It contains tracks from four previous Porter
Ricks eps on Force Inc all released in 1997. During the
production of the Exposed & Spoil eps the Porter
Ricks guys did some work with the Techno Animal
guys. I believe that influenced those two eps giving 
those tracks more of a harder edge/breaky edge. Here
are the four Porter Ricks Force Inc eps:

. Porter Ricks: Vol 1 12" (Force Inc)
. Porter Ricks: Vol 2 12" (Force Inc)
. Porter Ricks: Exposed 12" (Force Inc)
. Porter Ricks: Spoil 12" (Force Inc)

Like you, i prefer the earlier Porter Ricks stuff on
Chain Reaction.
