Mutant Jazz is also on Jungle - Sound Of The Underground, on SOUR/Columbia,
which I think is a US release.  I found it in the used bin, so I'm guessing
it's fairly available in the US.  Try searching the online stores if you
can't find it locally.  It also has Natural Born Killaz by Atomic Dog (M.
Royal's more dancefloor oriented nom de groove).

Does anyone know how many versions of Mutant Jazz there are?  Sometimes
it's labelled TPower vs. MKUltra, and I'm wondering if that's a different
version...

Just what's on Bobby's page.  I've been meaning to buy it - I figured the
Yen was heading towards 200/$, but the $ took an awful beating this week.

Recent TPower appearances:

Chocolate Weasel remix on Ryuichi Sakamoto's Anger/Grief - this sounds more
like TPower than Choc.Weasel to my ears.

TPower remix of James Hardway on Cocktails comp. (Recordings Of
Substance/Instinct).  I was pretty psyched to find this domestic.  The
track has elements of TPower's drum programming w/o the mad D&B snares.
Can't pigeonhole this track - it's different.  I like it.

Another TPower remix of James Hardway is on his UK only album, Reshuffle &
Spin Again .  It's called Theo Steps In, & I haven't heard it yet.

New TPower track on The Method: Infinite Methods Of Drum & Bass comp.
(Emotif).  Haven't heard this yet.

New TPower track on Chinese Whispers remix comp (Sprawl ). Haven't heard
this either.

So, it seems that TPower fans are beginning to find out what it's like to
be a Plaid or Vibert fan - gobs of money dropped on obscure remixes &
compilations.
