Somehow the UK price is expensive. One of the versions is a 180gm hezvy
vinyl which is why it is expensive.

The remixes are pretty much different to the feel of their material, so
do not expect to be UFOish remixees. More ambient, and much more more
deeper.

The Remixes are included on the 2nd CD.

It's very hard to take someone's opinion on their album cos each one is
very diffferent in style.
But if you really want it then my fav's are:
The Adoption Agency (remix album)-breaks, airto moriera remix, UFO remix,
Ray Hayden(Opaz) etc.
Double Image (both album and remix)-dnb and Nuyorican Soul/Double Image (both album and remix)-dnb and Nuyorican Soul/M@W stuff.
The Mermaid (mini album)-their are commercially tipped cover versions and
a good mix of Sunshine After the Rain by a good mix of Sunshine After the Rain by M@W. The outstanding songs are
the exxclusive stuff she wrote just on this release.
