The only criticism I can level at Interplanetary Meltdown is that it doesn't flow quite as well as the proper albums. But then again, it is simply a compilation of remixes of TGU tunes and a couple of oddities.
The very first remix of International Times (Lionrock Mix) kicks off with a recognisably TGU feel but with the funkiest bassline you've ever heard. From there, some are great, some are good, but the high point for me is the breathtaking TGU remix of Grotus track Rasa Bliss. Truly an epic dance track. Also worthy of note is the remix of Headbutt track One Day Old featuring heavily sampled didge and the utterly foot-stomping Zombieites remix.
If you are already a TGU fan, get it bought. If not, start with one of the albums and follow it up with this...

a lost album from (alas) a lost tribe
8 Feb 2002

As befits the image of TGU as tribal music co-op, we get a bunch of remixes of "Temple Head" era TGU tracks, plus another bunch of mixes by TGU themselves, with no theme anywhere in sight (though there are a few nice segues). While the quality control knob is not at its highest setting on this disc, the standouts far outnumber the duds. And as the loose tribe that was TGU becomes a lost tribe (judging from their more recent output), it's good to have a document like Interplanetary Meltdown to remind us of better times, international or not.
Justin Robertson's Lionrock Kick da Flavour remix of International Times features beeps and glisses snakily interweaving with bass curlicues, served up to a compelling rock-steady dancebeat. Later, TGU throws in elements from Protean plus some Gyoto Monk action in their Rasa Bliss remix, taken from Grotus' Opiate of the Masses EP. And all power to Youth's Isis Mix of Temple Head: spanning the generation gap between Killing Joke and TGU, chopping the original into rock-sized units, flanging to taste, and climaxing with those joyous close-encounter UFO-summoning samples "watch the skies - tell this to everybody where ever they are!"
