Reload – Auto Reload EP : Volume 2

I honestly think GC’s remix of The Biosphere is the best that music will ever get for me. I find that really hard to say as Oxygene was always the blueprint, and as much as it breaks my heart, Mark & Tom deserve top accolade for this one (sorry JMJ).

A jaw-dropping doubleheader from a time when there was such a fruitful melding of ambient, IDM, and techno. Black Dog take a wistful and breezy original and add their unmistakable scintillating percussive twist with a bit of acid, and the B-side redo of “The Biosphere” is just over-the-top bliss with a sugar-rush of a breakbeat and a tear-jerking main riff. 100% essential listening.

I absolutely love this record and have done for over 25 years. The best thing Global Communications ever did?

Promotional 12" comes in a die-cut thin card Creation generic sleeve and also with a press release and a reaction sheet

An ambient breakbeat masterpiece that brings a tear to my eye every time I play it!

Global Communication Remix for me!Nice one!

beautiful production.
A2 Le Soleil Et La Mer (Black Dog Productions Remix) (masterpiece)

Global Communication mix of Biosphere is amazing - Sydney Australia DJ Torque featured it on his mixtape Backroad to Nirvana which also featured Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds. Played in the middle of a desert in South America at sunset ... amazing.. PS here's the tape Side A https://bit.ly/3bSGw9m side b https://bit.ly/2Tqf1gZ

A classic EP, the highlight of which has to be the Black Dog remix of Le Soleil Et La Mer, which takes the track in a totally different direction to the original with a sparser, subtler arrangement that is ultimately much more rewarding than the cuddly original and is one of my very favourite ambient tracks ever. The rest of the EP is also excellent, well up to the standard of the Reload album.

I totally disagree with the above comment. The Black Dog Productions (Plaid) remix of Le Soleil Et La Mer is mediocre to say the least. I was excited when I first checked the track listing out when I bought the CD. It had tracks from Black Dog Productions, Global Communication and a B-Side from A Collection Of Short Stories. Then when I heard the Black Dog mix I was just totally turned off. By the time the end of the CD I was wondering why such a bad remix was placed on such an excellent EP. But all was forgotten when I heard the Global Communication remix of the Biosphere. This is one of my favorite Global Communication tracks of all time. The EP also has Le Soleil Et La Mer and the original Biosphere which are also two amazing tracks. This is definiatly a highly recommended disc, just skip over the Black Dog Productions track, for your own sake.
