    Yep. the track has been played over the last (almost) 2 years by several DJs
    and I also don't understand why it hasn't been out on vinyl. It's probably
    one of those tracks that only the 'elite' people _should_ have access to. :P
    Anyway, contact me privately if you're interested in it and maybe we can
    arrange a CDR trade.

    Probably it's good for a nice warm-up :) Will definetly check it out.

    The Opaque/Seiji remix of P'taah's track 'Crossing (Evacuation of Form)' is
    surely one of _the_ remixes of this, yet in the beggining, year. I must
    admit that I didn't find the remix as good as I had been told at first, but
    as I listened to it again and again, I realized how it unfolded to become
    one of the dirtiest, yet one of the most danceable tunes around. I would
    love to hear this at a club.

    This and other remixes (released in some compilations) will be included in
    the new P'taah album called 'De'Compressed Light', a collection of reworks
    by some of the most leftside producers (Off Centre Ensemble, Chateau Flight,
    DJ Venom, etc.) of some of the tracks (if not all) included in his latest
    album - 'Compressed Light'. Should be out on Ubiquity next week, and it's an
    absolute must-have (as the original album was).
