Avoid it.

I would go that far about the PCM remix being the absolute best jungle
tune. It was certainly pretty awesome. If there are an IDM people that
haven't heard the Scorn remix cd Ellipses, you should definitely look
for it! With remixes from Autechre, Coil, Meat Beat Manifesto, PCM,
and Bill Laswell.

I was pretty disappointed by that release.

The Mick Harris remix is downbeat and doesn't really sound like
Surgeon. I would have to say it sounds more like Harris. Definitely
look for more Surgeon he has put out some great stuff. Cheers
