The bird thing (I heard it's a doggie, but I don't know) is called
Nauga :)
The Gentle People have 2 remixes on Combinaison Spaciale
(Matador/Caroline) one of "Good" and the other one of "Contact". The 10"
version of CSpaciale has a slightly different version of one of them.
Although the remixes are quite cool, both the original songs are far
better.
Talking about Contact, (original by Serge Gainsbourg for Brigitte
Bardot), it first appeared on Romantique 95, one of p5's albums and was
produced by Towa Tei. The curiosity of this song is that it contains a
keyboard line "inspired" by Kraftwerk's Pocket Calculator. This version
hasn't been released but in Japan because of this but some months ago
Matador started releasing a series of 12"s with remixes of p5 songs. The
first one was Dimitri from Paris doing Contact...
There are also remixes of their latest album, Happy end of the
word, by 808 State, Daniel Miller & Gareth Jones, Momus, Oval, etc, etc
