(I liked everything so far, 76:14, JK's NSS, Reload's >COSS, Theory Of Evo, and even their recent house EPs.) It's others remixed by GC. One track is a Reload track off A Collection of Short Stories remixed by GC, but I can't here any difference (I'll probably check again soon). There also is a jazzy number from Warp 69. I didn't like it that much. The others are excellent. Two other tracks are off the Blood Music remixes. One is off of the Rollercoaster EP from The Grid. The final track is Nav Katze "Wild Horses." This track starts out in a 76:14 vein, quiet and ambient, then moves forward and progresses into a nice groove. If you're quite the GC trainspotter, there isn't much here to be honest. The Nav Katze tracks are taken off of Never Mind The Distortion, a remix disc for Nav Katze that has two Black Dog mixes, two AFX mixes, and two GC/Reload mixes, plus an Ultramarine mix. I'd say Remotion is a good intro disc to GC. I think that they should've put the Palmskin Production remixes on Remotion. Those two tracks, "Evolution of the Beast," are by two favorite mixes by GC. They're quite similar to the track off of AI2. 15 minutes of bliss... Any other GC remixes I've missed out on? >And about Evolution/Universal Language, which EPs (GC and non-GC), are >musts? (opinions, of course) Well, I like the Big Ones EP, especially the Modwheel track. Much better than The Way/The Deep IMHO. The Maiden Voyage EPs are pretty good as well. 76:14 was rereleased in Japan doubled with the 2 Maiden Voyage EPs. I've seen a couple copies around. That's about it for me on ULP. Wishmountain/Herbert is a little too "out there" for me sometimes. -sml
