After a video was made for Synaptic Response, Virgin asked us to replace the Faculties Of Cognition mix with the shorter video edit, Nocturnal Broadcast, so “people won’t be disappointed to get a different song”. BS. We thought listeners would be delighted to find a longer mix than the video, but relented under the condition that the time lost in the video edit would be made up with an alternate mix at the end of the album.
So we flipped the master tapes backwards, ditched the percussion, and came up with this mix. This is now by far our favourite Synaptic version.

Simon Posford is a wizard, and his music is the cream of the crop in terms of providing the most return on your invested attention. the more closely you listen, the more richly you are rewarded. there are so many layers, so many twists and turns; it's not just an album, it's a journey through a world of sound. this is music that is truly unique, cutting edge, beautiful, psychedelic, complex, and unlike anything else on earth. mcgtunes
