Well, they're in fact the same 12".  Beyond on side A and Get Down To
My Technique on side B.  It's Hallucination Record's hal008.  I
wouldn't compare it to the old DynamixII, but it isn't bad.  It's a
bit saturated with effects and the distorted sound doesn't cut the mix
(i.e. it's a bit overwhelming).  The underlying beat is pretty good
though.  If they took a more minimal approach I think I could get into
it more.  It seems as though Scott Weiser and Todd Walker were trying
to throw too much in there all at once.

Personally I like all the Detroit Electro MUCH better.  I'm also
enjoying Carl A. Finlow and IF and the German electro (like
Electrecord).  I'd also recommend anything Selway is involved with.  I
can't speak for anything on Rephlex (DMX Crew) or Breakin'.  I haven't
heard it.  As a matter of fact, this Jackal & Hide 12" is making me a
bit wary of getting the Dynamix II.
