i just have to throw in my $0.02 here..

i am in NO WAY a big rephlex advocate :)  but the mike dred/peter green
stuff is some of the most original and solid stuff out there (IMO)

amazing ambient/noise bits, odd, clear beats and blips.  

the problem with the rephlex release is it incorporates too many tracks
that came out previously with the machine codes releases/box set.
