You got Laika and Leila mixed up. Laika had that "sounds of satellites" release on Too Pure (i believe). hhhmmmm....don't know about the Sugarcubes connection wif Leila Arab. But she has done alot of live mixing for Bjork's recent live sets....well I don't know...when Bjork was using Plaid for all the sounds.... She's apparently stepping out wif one of the blokes from Plaid. Her other releases...."Space Love" ep, is good in my opinion. The Single for "feeling" has a good single edit but that's about it that's good about it. I think there's another one too. There's also a bonus 7" if you bought the vinyl version.....which I think has one of the best songs on it. I don't know the names because they are unlabeled (I think), just a silver label. Anyways the album got shite loads of praise from the NME, and it's alright. You should probably listen before buying it. Cheers, Rusty (sometimes known as xxxxx_xxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx )
