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. You know, folks, there are discographies out there.. would save us some of this speculation and fuzzy recollections of records that might've been... Mike -- Mike J.

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

I remember seeing a remix called the Snowball mix (or something like that), and if i remember correctly it was a downtempo, dubby kinda mix. Don't know if this is the one you're talking about though.
