Oh, I agree fully that doing the remixes for cash is getting a bit
tedious and that they really do need to concentrate more on original
material, but things are looking up on that front lately - what with
the promo single for "Deeper"/"Dusk" (clear purple vinyl) last year and
"FLOORida" 2x12" coming out soon.

Also, you have to admit some of the remixes they've done are genius.
They can polish turds (Keoki, anyone?) - and the version of "Out of
Body Experience" that's about 15 minutes long is amazing.

I realized that have that discog... it's somewhere out on the web, I'll
try looking for it again, but I may have to have a friend at work mail
it to me.
