Aphex Twin Correction.

"If it's the mix I'm thinking of, it's actually Meat Beat Manifesto. The confusion seems to be down to a mislabelled MP3."

From Phil Wilkins, I've snooped about a bit and he must be right. To my eternal shame. Hope Marcus at Rephlex isn't reading this. I was so delighted when I first ID'd that track. I had a tape of that set Derrick did, and that particular track eluded me for years. Other highlights were Fingers Inc "Can U Feel it?" sped up to +8 with the treble EQ'd in and out, what sounded like a dubplate mix of Mayday's "Phantom", and Interceptor's "Forever" (I'll dig Murk till the day I die). Derrick used to LOVE playing at Pure, folk went totally wild, those parties were infinitely more unhinged than you'd suspect with the sterile reading Techno gets vis-a-vis Ardkore. Maybe everyone was too uptight in London. You know, too concerned with the track listing ;-) That tape got nicked from my car in 1993. I hope the twat who stole it enjoyed it, or died soon after (one or the other, I'm not too picky)
