Mental Cube – Q (2011)

Ah, yes, the only ‘release’ of 2011, a bunch of contemporary remixes of ‘Q’, licensed to Used and Abused Music. I think the YouTube comments on the promotional video sum it up well.

“Why? There are some tracks that should never be touched (including most of Dougans & Cockbain’s back catalogue). Its a total desecration”

“the original is so much better..”

“S H I T H O U S E”

“This is sacrilege this tune the original shouldn’t of been played about with it is one of the greatest electronic tunes of our generation people that were about back in the day know how big this one was I hate this version. Leave it alone shame on you who ever it was that did this version!”

“Totally agree. Some tunes should NEVER be touched. End of.”

Brian’s mate Will White is involved with one of the remixes, as is Kouncilhouse, who seems to appear on every reissue at this point. There’s even a promo CDr for your ‘totally unnecessary Dougans & Cobain releases’ shelf. It’d be of absolutely zero interest at all to most if it weren’t for the final track being a previously unheard alternate take from 1990.

Release date: 8th February 2011.
