this is probably because the first track on that album was "psychosomatic" co-written by Danny Zelonky aka Low Res who did a track that was remixed by Juan on Metroplex called "Amuck" which originally came out on an ep on sublime (japan) (3 mixes by Juan actually on the metroplex 12"). Danny also co-produced the title track on the "mind and body" album. I highly recommend Danny's stuff...check out the album he did on Plug Research called "Approximate Loveboat" and the mille plateaux albums "Wanton Phenomena" and "heftibag" his music is very dissonant (in a good way) and his sound design is unreal! on the Juan tip...I believe he says in a recent interview that he is working on another M500 album to be released on R&S. Anyone got any word on this?...I just hope Juan takes it in a different direction...the R&B influenced model 500 album was cool...but I think Juan can surprise us again with something a little more fresh. minto
