There is also another version of this release, which has an extra track on one side (c ?); i have a white label of it, as well the original.
As an introduction to minimal techno, this double 12" is unsurpassed, many have tried to emulate it, no one has succeeded.
This was Rob Hood's first release following his departure - along with Mills - from Underground Resistance. It is doubtful that he intended to kick start another direction for techno to head off in, though is it hard to argue that, at the time, it certainly needed something to prevent it's descent into loud and relentless boring jackhammer 4/4ness.
Personally, I think the "moveable parts, vol.1." ep is a far superior release...
The Mills mispress record sounds like it was recorded in his New York/Limelight phase after he left Underground Resistance in 1992. Hard-hitting techno ala Waveform Transmissions Vol 1.
