Review by ne-plus-ultra Sep 08, 2003

Derrick got the name Transmat from Juan's Night Drive track, he didn't know what it meant, just liked the sound of it. He kept the MS abbreviation (still to this day,) as a tribute to Metroplex.

Review by sakke Mar 15, 2003

Recent re-releases are easily identified by the label sticker design / graphics - Black background, white text, nice shaded small Transmat logo and just below the logo text "transmat" (all lower case) on gray, and below that text, gray block with black text "CLASSICS" (all uppercase).
