© Sprawl Imprint 1998 ? Sprawl Imprint 1998 Made in England. The remix album with no composer...the track with no name. Unlike other remix albums Chinese Whispers is a hermetically sealed cyclical recording remix project, but with no original track to begin with. All the artists participating had no idea who they were remixing. They were working in the dark, samples arriving anonymously. All they were aware of was who was involved, who these audio snippets might be from. Stereolab provided the original unconnected miscellaneous samples (ie not from an existing track) to start the ball rolling, and nine remixes later were given the final samples from the last artist's track (in this case T Power) back, to create their final track. Packaging: standard plastic jewel box case, clear tray, 6 page fold-out cover booklet. Track times not printed on sleeve art. Total time: 58:13 Track 1 published by Island Publishing Ltd/Copyright Control. Track 2, 5 to 8 Copyright Control. Track 3 Copyright Control/published by Chrysalis Music Ltd. Track 4 published by Chrysalis Music Ltd/Copyright Control. Track 9 Copyright Control/published by Mutesong. Track 10 published by Mutesong/Island Publishing.
