Version Excursion (2005)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

" ... Counterpoint -- always right on the money when it comes to picking rare tunes for its excellent compilations. But along with those compilations, Counterpoint has also commissioned new takes on the music by a variety of current and cutting-edge talents -- artists like Nicola Conte, Bugz In The Attic, Yam Who, Beatfanatic, and others -- all of whom have remixed and remade tracks for limited edition Counterpoint singles. Most of these tracks were only available for a short time, and only on vinyl -- but this set brings the best of them back, along with a few other side projects that were never issued at the time -- all in a beautiful flurry of tunes that link together the past and the future through a set of magical grooves! ..."
