Release Notes :

It remains one of the greatest and most inspiring blips in the all too
predictable curve of pop history: that a song as groundbreaking, artistically
daring and downright strange as 'O Superman' could become a mega-selling
worldwide hit, known and loved by the average guy on the street as well as by
the hipsters, musos, academics and art types that you might expect. The work of
Chicago-born, New York-based performance artist and composer Laurie Anderson, 'O
Superman' became a no. 2 hit in the British pop charts upon its release in 1981;
as a result, Anderson received a level of exposure and fame previously thought
impossible for an avant-garde artist. Now, Get Physical are proud to present six
remixes of this futuristic, curiously emotive classic across two 12"s.

The second remix 12" is kicked off by Audiofly X, no strangers to the Get
Physical roster. They offer a lean, lithe minimal techno rendering of 'O
Superman', which like Reboot's remix withholds Anderson's vocal for as long as
possible before releasing it in a heart-stopping breakdown towards the track's
end.

Felix Da Housecat, one of dance music's larger-than-life characters, proffers a
larger-than-life remix, doubling and re-doubling the 'Ah-ah-ah-ah' refrain,
underpinning it with gushing, dramatic strings and ominous piano notes. Really,
though, it's all about the killer synthesizer stab which functions as the main
riff, ricocheting off a tough kickdrum and snare pattern that'll reduce
dancefloors to rapturous rubble.

Rounding off the package is a remix from Robag Wruhme, one half of the
inimitable Wighnomy Brothers. It's a masterpiece of editing, as Wruhme
constructs a shimmering minimal techno fantasia, full of miscrocopic movement
and detail. Its elegant design really becomes apparent with the arrival of a
plaintive piano figure that brings all the pathos of Anderson's original into
the heart of the club.

Six incredible producers unite to celebrate and update a truly majestic,
otherworldly piece of music whose sound and sentiment still resonates today. You
will find the three other producers on Part 1.
