Don't know if this is the one you're talking about though. nope i'm sure it isn't that one; the mix was definitely sort of cut'n'paste (on reel-to-reel) job between original mix and the omen mix, mostly with pieces of the track without 303, and it was just a little bit faster than the omen mix (probably because of reel-to-reel, vinyl pressing, etc). i called my friend and he said that the a-side has original mix and the strange mix on b-side is the other mix. forgot to ask the year though, but definitely '88/'89 era. oh, and everyone, please remember; Humanoid is the artist, Stakker Humanoid is the track name :) sakke -- - * time to jack * - http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/sakke/music.html

i've only heard just few mixes of stakker humanoid; all of them from '88! :) (12 i have has 3, original, radio edit and the omen mix) One thing I never confirmed: Is the robotic vocal sample throughout Humanoid that says intruder alert a sample from that Bezerk 80's arcade videogame? I think I have the same 12, mine is marbeled purple vinyl on Jumpin' Pumpin' (a label name that has always made me chuckle BTW) silly trivia, but I always wondered and the sample sounded so strangely familiar. peace, Matt MacQueen

This is surely not the one you're talking about, but in 1992 the abysmal ZYX label released a Stakker Humanoid 92 12-inch with 3 barely-distinguishable mixes that attempted to incorporate as many ravey cliches as possible, particularly those zipper synth noises as popularized in a some remixes by Joey Beltram.
