How wrong was I ? If anyone knows their minimalism, it's LFO. It's one of the few remixes they released, but it stands up as timeless. I can listen to this remix sixteen years after it was first released, and it hasn't aged one day. Very special indeed. Now why hasn't somebody got around to remixing Timezone's World Destruction yet ?
Truth be told, I hated this remix when it came out originally. I think the problem was there were a further different six mixes to chose from on the CD single (only the 808 State remix which became their "Plan 9" under a slight re-tooling is worth digging out ... but perhaps another day). I think the radical minimalism and rejection of pretty much everything in the original track apart from the occasional shout out by Afrika Baambaataa probably alienated me a little.

Very interesting professor
Nah not a fan of this mix, the Electric Music/Kraftwerk Classic Mix is the one....there's a wonky World Destruction mashup mix on one of the Coldcut Solid Steel mixes as well...so its almost remixed...
