Mix descriptions

• "Relax" (New York mix) is the third 12" mix, which was originally released as the "Sex Mix" (as, confusingly, were the first two). It features four minutes of instrumental loops and textures before cutting to the standard vocal mix.
• The Ollie J and Jam & Spoon mixes were first released on the 1993 reissue of "Relax". The latter mix features vocal samples from "Relax", and an interpretation of the "Two Tribes" riff.
• "Two Tribes" (Carnage mix) is mostly instrumental, with "my name's Nash, mine is the last voice you will ever hear" over a stripped-down version of the last chorus, then looping round for a vocal run through the track, with an extended middle eight.
• The Legend mix appeared on a German 12" single in 1993, featuring four Intermission remixes, using vocal samples from the original track.
• "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" (Pleasurefix mix) is actually the original 12" mix (also known as the Real Altered or Alternative to Reality mix) and is an instrumental run through followed by a vocal run through. It is not the same as the Pleasure Fix mix that appeared on the B-side of "The Power of Love" 12" single.
• The Brothers in Rhythm mix, one of the 1993 remixes, follows a similar pattern to the album version, but with completely retooled backing.
• "Rage Hard" (Young Person's Guide to the 12 Inch mix) is 10:04 on this compilation, compared with over 12 minutes on the 12" releases. It fades out in the second verse of the main song.
• "Warriors of the Wasteland" (Twelve Wild Disciples mix) is a sampled and reconstructed version of the song according to the info on the sleeve of the 12" mix. The format is an instrumental run through, break to 4 loops of the middle 8 with extra keyboards, then a vocal run through.
