Because the group is called "Stakker Humanoid" and the tune is called
"Humanoid". Now don't say anything more about it, because you just got to
check out the new *8* track remix 12" and the label states the right answer
(or so I think), and I've got it!!! with nice FSOL remixes (surprising???).
It's now a Breakbeat house record (B2) or more BAGGER (sorry for this word,
but I mean A2 and especially A3).

Well, all you BREAKBEAT HOUSE lovers (especially damian, but he'll get more
as he should now by now), here's a list of new (and some older) records
that have gotten my approval:
In random order...
Isotonik-Different Strokes/Hasta la Vista
Isotonik-Everywhere EP (Everywhere I go (2X)/Let's get down/Rush)
       Isotonik is Chris Paul, who already had me hooked on his
       New Jack Swing-ish "All night long" by Jay Mondi & the Living Bass
       (it's a cover from the Mary Jane Girls). He's also released "Get
       Sweet Love" and a great "Take me away" cover with Jay Mondi (the
       "Take Me Away" cover being sampled by Prodject 1 recently).
       Also released the House EP in '86 (I thought) and under his own
       name released a track with vocals from Delroy Murray & Robin
       Achampong (better known as Total Contrast). Released much more,   
       but I don't know everything!
Unity-Unity
       And I mean the remix 12". The North Side has 2 Bassheads remixes
       (124 BPM) which are dull, but you really have to listen to the 
       South Side with 3 remixes (139 BPM) by Future Sound Of London.
       Especially B1 is really marvellous!!!!
The Hypnotist-House is mine '92
       I don't know the original, but I think the B-side has the originals
       on it. A-side then must have 2 remixes of the track. Speeds of all
       4 mixes: 140/130/140/120 BPM. Nice.
A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd-Turbulence Remix
       4 mixes on this one. My favourite is mix 1. Here's the list:
           Mix 1-Now is the future (139 BPM)
           Mix 2-Hardcore Heaven mix (137 BPM)
           Mix 3-Revelations Dettro mix (131 BPM)
           Mix 4-Original (139 BPM)
Blame-Music takes two
       It can also be "Music Takes You", but the label states "two" as A1.
       The other mixes are Original/Kaotic Chemistry take you/Ecstacy takes
       you, all at 138 BPM. It has a S/O/R like sample in it (Sweet
       Sensation).
Nu-Matic - Spring in my step EP
       The new one from Nu-Matic has the Ragga House track as B1 this time.
       A1 is "Spring in my step" in the 'No Nigel remix' (133 BPM). It's got
       some Spring in it (that is from Vivaldi's Four Seasons).
       Also a violin loop that can also be found in Reggae Philharmonic  
       Orchestra's "Lovely Thing".
       A2 is the subsonic track "Keep you movin'" (147 BPM) which has a
       Eric B & Rakim sample in it (surprise??).
       B1 is "It's strange" (141 BPM) and last (and my personal favourite)
       is "All over me" (133 BPM) which leans on a sample from Trammaine's
       "Fall Down". As with"Hard Times", this B2 track is a bit ambient.
DJ Nex EP
       As most of you (hopefully) will know, this is Chris Peat from
       Nexus 21/Altern 8. 4 tracks on this one: respect is due/Fluid/    
       DJ Nex' Theme/When I come, I come ruff (which is the best one).
DJ Carl Cox-Does it feel good to you (130 BPM)
       Nice follow-up to "I want you forever".
Rhythm Quest-The Dreams EP
       Includes "Closer to all your dreams" (132 BPM). Great, but sounds a
       lot like "Turbulence" (see above).
Urban Hype-A Trip to Trumpton (138 BPM)
       Nice. Watch out for the piano break (try playing it MONO!!!!).
       Better than the Smart E's. Great to mix with (Suddenly).
Skin Up-A Juicy Red Apple
Skip Up-Accelerate
       Two 12"-es by Skin Up (who calls himself Chase). The old "A juicy red
       apple" includes the Sweet mix (129 BPM) and the Altern 8 termin 8 
       remix (131 BPM). Also included are "Horny" (136 BPM) and "Stoned"
       (129 BPM).
       Accelerate (145 BPM) comes in 2 mixes: Rat race mix & the late riser
       mix. Also included is Skin up's re-touch of "Horny" (136 BPM) which
       is really great.
M&M-I feel this way (128 BPM)
       Old one, but still great. Vocals by Rachel Wallace.
Rachel Wallace-Tell me why (137 BPM)
       Great vocal track. 4 mixes on this one, and they're completely
       different. B1 contains a sample from Stakker Humanoid's "Humanoid".
Urban Shakedown-Some Justice
       4 tracks on this Amiga Made production.
       Concrete Jungle mix/Radio Edit at 146 BPM, Original version at
       138 BPM and Summer Break at 143 BPM.
X-Static EP
       Another oldie from Dice, but still great. 3 tracks, amongst them
       "Ready 2 go" and "My inspiration".
Prodigy-Charly/Everybody in the place
       Everybody who haven't already listened to this should listen to the
       USA REMIXES of these songs by Beltram (Charly) and Moby (everybody).

That's all for now...
