Hmmmm. That's tough, since I don't really think it's similar to any of
those releases. It's electroish, but not as cheesy as Slazenger. So you
might like it, or you might not.

The Slazenger album on Warp, Das Ist Ein Groovybeat Ja, isn't as good as
Makesaracket, but you may still like it. Same goes for the album he did
for SSR/Crammed under the name Gary Mosechles (I think I spelled that last
name wrong).

I believe most or all of the tracks on the JK Clear 12" also appear on New
School Science.

The only tracks exclusive to the Gentle Introduction 12" were a remix or
two, I believe. They couldn't have been too memorable since I sold this
record a while back.
