This CD was conceived by techno mavens Salz as an Anglo-German production exploring different facets of Thomas Dolby's 1981 recording of "One Of Our Submarines".
The original was the B-side of his international hit single "She Blinded Me With Science", and as such it was mainly overlooked by the commercial mainstream.
However, to club goers, fans and electronic music afficianados, it remains one of the stand-out songs of its era.
The sonic layering of the track suggests dark underwater worlds of wartime hell.
Not surprising, seeing as Dolby's uncle (featured in a black and white photo on the CD cover) drowned in a British submarine on manoeuvres late in the Second World War.

It's great. If you like OOOS, and remixes, this is totally for you. Very creative efforts from these artists. Excellent for listening or dancing to.

Must CD for fans!
author: Erik
This is a CD with a number of interesting versions of One Of Our Submarines. Not all mixes are equally impressive but that is always the way with remix compilations.
I especially like Thomas Dolby's live version.

Rare example of an excellent set of remixes
author: Darcy
This CD was a surprise. I came to buy The Sole Inhabitant and found the OOOS remix CD. I have a collection of remixes that do not add to the experience of the original (Pet Shop Boys and New Order are both examples where more is actually less) but this collection is a very modern, and very good, update to the original. The genius of the underlying material makes a strong foundation but the remixes show the potential of the music for a new audience in a new century. Gamble with cost of this CD, I'm confident the odds are in your favour that you will like it.
