        The original has its moments, but to me sounds a little sparse
        during some songs.  But this makes it the purrrrefect remix disc
        then, don't it?  Minimal basic breaks put through a handful of
        different treatments.  I don't have the remix disc yet, but i
        know it will be excellent (i am remembering what Atom Heart did on
        NUF's Golden Star rmxs).  Damn fine.  What i really like about the
        original Oscillations, though, is the synth washes in some of the
        tracks.  Beautiful long intros and outros that can be mixed with
        other things.  I recognized some of these synthscapes on the
        Marley Mix Translation disc, which i also use to mix over other
        stuff.  Sounds like these really fill out beat-oriented minimalist
        tracks, be they house, trance, or whatever.
