ZTT - 22-Aug-03 05:32 PM
Just to make our jobs even more difficult, ZTT also had a nasty habit of releasing several different singles with the same catalog number. Not to mention half the time they would name a certain mix something different for a different release... oh and if you can manage to wrap your brain around that, then you probably won't have the mental power leftover to make sense of their often cryptic and certainly verbose liner notes. This was all part of the modus operandi of ZTT. But, damn they had some great music!
Yes - Leave It - 17-Aug-03 03:11 PM
The Hello, Goodbye Mix was worked on by both Trevor Horn and J.J. Jeczalic as well as Gary Langan, who those in the know were behind the sampladelic psuedo-band known as The Art Of Noise. Thus, this remix resembles the original song not very much. So if you are an avid Yes fan, you probably won't want to listen to the A-side, however, fans of the Noise will most likely adore it, as I do.
Moby - Go - 16-Aug-03 06:39 PM
This release contains a little disclaimer by Moby, the purpose of which was that hoped to dash any misinformation about the supposed use of "Go" for a car commercial airing in early 1993. The inner sleeve features a pictogram of a car with a red "Ø" sign through it, and the catalog number even reflects this theme: CD NO CAR 1.

Track 12 entitled "300bps 8,N,1" is an interesting idea by InSoc... It is the audio equivalent of a digital file. The idea being that if you transmit this file through a phone line to a computer, you will eventually get a text file. I have no life, and I did try this several times, but it never worked. But then again I never was much of a phreaker!
For interested parties, the text file in question can be found at http://www.insoc.org/texts/3008N1.HTML.

This is a great CD, but it is way over 74 minutes (one of the first releases I am aware of that pushed the 74-minute barrier), and thus, it fails to play all the way to the end on most older models of CD players. I actually had to extract the tracks and re-burn the album to a CDR in order to get it to play!
