I'm gonna have to disagree on one point here, i utterly dont like the R.
devine(trapzoid) remix at all, half the sounds in the remix are from his
schema 12", as well as his remix on the C de Luca 12" is just one of his
tracks that he literally slowed down and changed some samples....i love all
the other stuff he does...just think he is pretty wack as a remixer.
as for the whole rest of the tb12, i'm glad to hear that eveyone on the list
is finally catching on to what seven pointed out to me that this is really
only 12 remixs of one track and is not meant to be listened to in the same
context as an album, each track should be considered individually.

BTW, go pick up the new Heinrich at Heart CD, its Panacea meets Plaid.
