        |       |  ItÆs been almost ten years since we released |       |        
        |       |  our most infamous track to date,             |       |        
        |       |           ôBeneath the Maskö.                 |       |        
        |       |  In a genre with a short attention span like  |       |        
        |       |  Drum&Bass this is a very long time. But it   |       |        
        |       |  still happens regularly that when I DJ,      |       |        
        |       |  somebody comes up to me and asks if I could  |       |        
        |       |  play ôthat tune with the Chinese vocalsö.    |       |        
        |       |                                               |       |        
        |       |  And even though those vocals are not Chinese |       |        
        |       |  but sung in ancient Japanese language and    |       |        
        |       |  harmonized in the style of Bulgarian folk    |       |        
        |       |  music, itÆs obvious what they want to hear.  |       |        
        |       |  After selling 5-digits figures, we stopped   |       |        
        |       |  re-pressing ôBeneath the Maskö in 2002       |       |        
        |       |  to close this chapter in our musical history |       |        
        |       |  Ever since then the prices for used copies   |       |        
        |       |  on eBay have skyrocketed, and I recently saw |       |        
        |       |  an auction closing at 140,- Dollars!         |       |        
        |       |  Wish I kept a couple of copies myself;)      |       |        
        |       |  instead all that I have left is the original |       |        
        |       |  testpressingà                                |       |        
        |       |                                               |       |        
        |       |  One thing that was obvious to us was that we |       |        
        |       |  never wanted to remix this track because we  |       |        
        |       |  didnÆt see how we could improve it- if it    |       |        
        |       |  ainÆt broken why fix it? When Ill.Skillz     |       |        
        |       |  approached us in 2006 and said that theyÆd   |       |        
        |       |  be interested to try their luck at remixing  |       |        
        |       |  ôBeneath the Maskö, we figured that they     |       |        
        |       |  might be just the right persons to get the   |       |        
        |       |  job done since they just completed a string  |       |        
        |       |  of ôclassicsö-remixes such as ôSicknoteö by  |       |        
        |       |  Ed Rush & Optical.                           |       |

        |       | Around the same time we found an unlabeled    |       |        
        |       | old DAT-tape, which we wanted to give a quick |       |        
        |       | listen before throwing it in the trash. To    |       |        
        |       | our surprise we found an unreleased,          |       |        
        |       | alternate mix of ôBeneath the Maskö from the  |       |        
        |       | very same session in 1997.                    |       |        
        |       | It features the full vocal and a new C-part   |       |        
        |       | which was not included in the vinyl version.  |       |        
        |       | So now we had two very good reasons to        |       |        
        |       | release this single: Ill.Skillz cutting-edge  |       |        
        |       | remix and the vintage flavour of the          |       |        
        |       | alternate mix.                                |       |        
        |       |                                               |       |        
        |       | This release is special to us in another way  |       |        
        |       | as well: after 28 vinyl singles and 3 CD      |       |        
        |       | albums we are closing shop and discontinuing  |       |        
        |       | our label ôPrecision Breakbeat Researchö.     |       |        
        |       | This is due to the fact that we started it    |       |        
        |       | primarily as a vehicle to release our own     |       |        
        |       | music, but after being signed to V Recordings |       |        
        |       | we feel itÆs time to concentrate our efforts. |       |        
        |       | However, itÆs a good thing to leave on a high |       |        
        |       | note and we want to thank all the people who  |       |        
        |       | were part of the PRCSN experience in the past |       |        
        |       | decade:                                       |       |

| SOUR has been releasing good quality drum'n'bass, jungle & oldskool rips to |  
|    the internet drum'n'bass public since summer 1999. Originally a small    |  
|       operation, we have now reached levels of international acclaim.       |  
|                                                                             |  
|  SOUR is dedicated to both the availability and promotion of music to the   |  
|  public, and our rips are intended to reflect these ideals. Specifically:   |  
|                                                                             |  
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of new music that is currently         |  
|   available to buy. If you like something you hear, you are obliged to      |  
|   attempt to purchase an original copy.                                     |  
|                                                                             |  
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of old music that may no longer be     |  
|   available to buy.                                                         |  
|                                                                             |  
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion and infiltration of drum'n'bass        |  
|   worldwide! We provide a service where none is available, specifically in  |  
|   many remote countries where traditional distributors can not afford to    |  
|   target. Also, the availability of drum'n'bass in an easily accessible     |  
|   form expands the potential for real world sales to people who may not     |  
|   otherwise have considered buying drum'n'bass.                             |  
|                                                                             |  
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion of the online and offline real world   |  
|   scenes. With more listeners enjoying what they hear, clubs and venues can |  
|   only expect MORE people to attend events; DJ's can only expect MORE       |  
|   people to pay to see THEM.                                                |  
|                                                                             |  
| By accident of today's current real world distribution arrangements, many   |  
|   artists will find that SOUR releases IMPROVE their real world sales;      |  
|  especially for items only on vinyl. This is the basis upon which SOUR      |  
|                                 operates.                                   |
