I believe most, if not all of the tracks on 0161
are previously unrelased. But i had another
Yunx record that i reviewed back in 1996.
It didn't have the track from 0161 on it but
it was still excellent. Below is the Recoreview...

. Yunx: Bill Odessey 12" (Void)
The Void label is very loyal to the black dog & plaid "sound" 
and this four tracker keeps that "sound" going. The a-side 
features two tracks of string laden rhythmic techno
reminiscent of Bytes era Black Dog Productions. The b-side,
with it's polyrhythms and jazzy synths sounds more like
"spanners" era Black Dog Productions. If you like the BDP
releases of old this 12", and most other Void label 12"s
are for you. 9/10

btw: Yunx is Manchester duo Iain Law and Darren Taberner.
I've heard that they did a remix on the Pacific label but
i don't remember the name of the record offhand.
