Music For Space Tourism is a classic, but Endless Bummer is pretty damn good
as well (I'm talking about the orig, not the remix album). You can get
everything Visit Venus from us, we always stock all their releases (some of
which are now out of print--and the band unfortunately has disbanded) :{

Well, I'd say you've got their best stuff, but _Endless Bummer_ isn't
a big step down from _MfST_. _EB_ is a little darker, iirc.
Never judge a tune by its remix! I almost always enjoy the original
better than the remix. Well, there's the Coldcut remix of Eric B &
Rakim-- that's pretty good!
