I've borrowed the new version from a friend, plan to load it into my Mac & A/B it with the original to tell the differences, then burn the alternate tracks on a CD w/ 28 Gun Bad Boy (so I can keep the original in a safe place, I doubt I'll ever see another copy). Full report by the end of the week. I've got the "So Many Dreams" CDS, and have to say I prefer the original to the remixes.

I think Gerald's drum programming has always been excellent. He gets some amazing textures from his rhythms on both BST & 28 Gun Bad Boy (the total mindfuck jungle album - it gets better every time I listen to it, and it rated as a great album the first time I heard it. Hard to believe it's from '92). 4 Hero, at least on Parallel Universe, tends to be a little more Catholic in their drum programming to maintain their dancefloor cred. I'm glad they strayed from that a bit w/ Jacob's Optical Stairway. But, if you want some really ripping tracks, try out their "Paranormal In 4 Forms" (MacroDubInfection), or the JOS remix of System 7 on the Foundations comp. > Speaking > of which, someone game me a tracklisting for the new 4 Hero LP to be > released on Talkin' Loud in the UK (no US domestic release planned tho). > The album is called "Two Pages" and the tracklisting is... Thanks for the info. Anyone care to comment on the "Jacob's Story" EP that came out on R&S about a year ago? I've been meaning to buy it for too long. Che
