When I first glanced at the thread title, given their own recent announcement, I read KLB as KLF and got quite excited at the prospect of a hitherto unknown On-U connection.
I can't say that collection offers a lot to rouse the interest of long-time fans but nice to see KLB is still active. I think the only tracks that are completely new to me are 'Want To Thank You' and 'Welcome' which sounds unusually avant-garde for him. Anyone know their history?

I haven't downloaded or listened to any of these tracks yet, but here are my initial thoughts on those included:
1. Dreamworld Dub - Versioned from the track on the 'Stranger Than Fiction' album? 2. Remote Control Dub - Is this the same as the track on the Interference 'Global Game' CD single? 3. Mechanical Movements Dub - Is this the same as the track from the Select Cuts re-issue of the 'Major Malfunction' album? 4. Invisible Instrumental - Versioned from the track on the Spike 'Invisible' album? 5. Object Subject Jungle Drum Dub - Versioned from the track on the 'Major Malfunction' album? 6. Tick Of Time Drum Dub - Versioned from the track on the Select Cuts re-issue of the 'Major Malfunction' and/or the Spike 'Invisible' albums? 7. Object Subject Remix Instrumental - Versioned from the track on the 'Major Malfunction' album? 8. Unsanity Instrumental Mix - Versioned from the track on the Spike 'Invisible' album? 9. Want To Thank You - New to me, but here's the info on Bandcamp: Bim Sherman – vocals Keith LeBlanc – drums, drum programming, percussion, keyboards, effects, bass Producer Keith LeBlanc Mixed By – Harvey Birrell, Keith LeBlanc 10. Welcome - Also new to me, but here's the info on Bandcamp: Keith LeBlanc Sounds effects producer, mixing 11. Jungle Jello Object Subject Remix - Versioned from the 'Message From Our Sponsor (Object Subject)' track on the 'Terminal City Ricochet' soundtrack album?
All this is guess work based on the track names, so please don't take any of it as gospel.

I've not bought/listened to yet so I'm of no help...

I will probably buy it.
The O/S remixes are quite different, that much I can tell you. Just using the samples and vocal really, and losing of all Skip's instrumentation from what I recall. No win there.

Good god, is that Bim Sherman on 'Want To Thank You'? I only listened to the first 60 seconds and thought it might be Holly Johnson!
I'd better bow out of this thread now......

I always wonder ... who buys these drum cds and loop things?

Who nose these days... I did buy the first one he released (I think) all those many years ago but quickly moved it on I had a quick listen to the aformentioned Bim track earlier. Hmmm... I didn't think his vocal was actually too bad, but my - what a piss-poor tin pot production!

Welcome is quite the oddball; as far as I can tell, it's literally just Mad Movement from Global 2000 with a proper ending and slightly different mastering. Not even an early version Want to Thank You might be another track from The Vision, the Keith/Bim collab album that never got a formal release. The Mechanical Movements Dub in this album is actually a slight remix of the original Mechanical Movements Dub (the bonus track on Major Malfunction reissue and in Power Inc. Volume 2), with a bunch of reverb added and a handful of additional vocal effects. Dreamworld Dub and Remote Control Dub were both already released (Dreamworld Dub on Power Inc. Volume 2, Remote Control Dub on Stop the Confusion (Global Interference) - actually already on Bandcamp! - and the Interference single as mentioned). Object Subject Jungle Drum Dub and Object Subject Remix Instrumental both seem to be variants on the final track, Jungle Jello Object Subject Remix, and none seem to contain Skip's guitar work or the actual drum pattern from Object Subject. Hope he does another album like this some time soon - a bit of a letdown 3 of the 11 tracks said to be exclusive actually aren't. Invisible Instrumental and Unsanity Instrumental are great tunes though (as are their original versions from Invisible).

"none seem to contain Skip's guitar work or the actual drum pattern from Object Subject" -- most of the bits that made it good, in other words.
The Object Subject remix I've heard before off a DAT of unreleased KLB things, and while I was excited to put it on and hear it, I was not excited by the result at all.
