OE 03 comes from the Superior Inferior and includes remixes of the title track by scouse stalwart John Heckle. Produced from feelings and insight although clearly taking inspiration from numerous genres such as minimal synth, wave, acid, techno, EBM and industrial.

Echelon XIII is a heavily synth based track with much Monopoly input, heavy 707 drums and raw percussion giving it a moody downbeat feel, however the unexpected acid hook throws a whole new dynamic to the track. Interstellar Acid Pzykosis is a much heavier track and its evident there is some EBM and industrial inspiration here. Spaced out Moog elements and a dominating 303 line make it left of centre.

The B side has been reserved for John Heckles remixes of the EP’s namesake. Interpretation 1 certainly reflects the contorted nature of the original however it brings a new uplifting and carefree side to it also. The second interpretation is one one hand lighter with some of its synth elements than the original but constant acid pulses and ridiculously heavy kick patterns in parts set it in its own stride.
