been
a one sided, one track record and it would still be one of the best
bits of
techno ever made if that one track was Jupiter Jazz. As for Jaguar, I
always
liked it, but never particularly loved it, even before it started

up everywhere.
yeah i agree.. Also, World 2 World will likely get repressed, i
imagine. All time classic to me, to me it doesn't sound dated, it
just sounds UR. hard to explain. UR has a way of doing represses
over time, they are usually of the philosophy that good music (that is
also selling pretty well, 5-10 years later! how many other records
are? ;) should stay in print.
re: Amazon - still like it, it's an odd duck though.. i could see the
love it or hate it rule applying here. While i thought it was cool
that 4Hero reworked it, i was disappointed they didn't do MORE with it.
I mean, how do you approach a piece like that, is has to be tough,
it's kind of a weird track on it's own. But I remember thinking i
wish they would have deconstructed it a bit or something. Well
whatever, remixes are soooo subjective anyway.
