i think you're a bit confused, there's a disc by Soft Ballet called "forms"
and it has remixes by the artists you mentioned above, and its pretty good,
but some of the artists seemed like they didn't give it all their efforts
to do the remix, with the autechre track making it worth the purchase
alone, being one of the most amazing autechre tracks i've ever heard.  
ok, and THEN, there is another artist by the name of Nav Katze with two
remix discs, called never mind the distortion 1 and never mind the
distortion 2.  the first one has two aphex remixes, a submarine remix, and
some other stuff i can't remember right now.  the second disc which is very
hard to find has a autechre remix, seefeel remix, u-ziq remix, gentle
people remix, sun electric remix and some disjecta (mark clifford) remixes,
which go tap-tap-tap, interesting none the less...

i can kinda see how the two can get mixed up, nav katze and soft ballet are
both japanese groups with vocals that somehow  wanted to get the
aphex/Ae/u-ziq camps to remix their stuff. 
oh, and soft ballet has another remix disc, that came out before forms and
has remixes by caustic window, emf, pwei, jesus jones, adamski, fluke, 808
state, higher intelligence agency, orbital, and some other dancey acts. 
about half of the disc's remixes are unlistenable, as you can tell by the
remixers...

code c007 on a canon pc-720 on the secondary led readout on the light
regulator board means that the fuser film needs to be changed and the bias
voltage needs to be cleared from the main board's memory.
