A1: Kevin Saunderson - "The Human Bond (Claude Vonstroke Rave Recognize Rave Mix)" "It was great to be asked to do this. Originally, I wanted to do something really quirky and funky with the strange vocal in 'Human Bond,' one of my favorite old tracks. I tried a few times but I couldn't really get a vibe going in the funk realm. So I listened to the original over and over again and then the light bulb turned on. I realized that the original was a monster rave track, like what you would hear in a warehouse in Detroit in the 90s. So I threw out my original idea and went crazy with a huge techno builder, something to hype a big rave just like the original. Maybe this doesn't sound exactly like what i usually do but that was the fun of making it." --Claude Vonstroke. AA: Kevin Saunderson - "Bounce Your Body To The Box (Mike Shannon's Flashback Mix)" "Bounce your body to the box was one of the first KMS records that I owned and it was all about the Mike 'Hitman' Wilson mix and Force Field on the B side. The production on the original was huge. The 909 groove just pounded everything? when that came out there was nothing that came close to it. So it was an honor and a challenge to mix it myself... I had a lot of fun with this one but it definitely has a signature that steps away from the original. So I had to take a run at it one more time to pay a proper homage to the original with the Flashback mix" --Mike Shannon

Planet E's domestic version of the definitive Kevin Saunderson compilation, previously issued in the UK on Avex (w/ 3 more tracks than the Avex edition). "Techno was a direct product of the mad experiments conducted by what is referred to as the 'Holy Trinity'. this fraternity of innovators was made up of Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, neighborhood friends turned international heroes. Kevin Saunderson has been the most prolific and successful out of the three. Over the past ten years Kevin has been the driving force behind such mainstream acts as Inner City and Reese Project, but the monikers that he has used previous to these have been most impressive." Neil Rushton: "It might have been simpler to stick with one project. It might have been a better career move. But it wouldn't have been such (big) fun. Kevin's built like a brickhouse. His music shows it, it's loud, huge, heavy and weird, Dave Clarke is just one of the following generation of European techno producers who acknowledge a debt to him and his mad b-lines." Includes the pivotal Reese bassline on "Just Another Chance" -- widely swiped in techstep circles for the crucial "dark" quotient.
