Orbital the Box remix - Maelcum

[billybatts]

In the 90's the Loopz website used to host an annual Orbital remix competition, this sort of thing - https://www.loopzorbital.com/compo/1998/r20.html

At some point there was a remix of The Box, called the Maelcum Remix. I have managed to lose it over the years and can't find it anywhere. And even worse, there's zero references to it online, even on the Loopz remix pages that I can find.

So, does anyone know the best Orbital resource to post this request on, in the slim chance I can get hold of it again?

  Hilo, it is I once again. Alot of people are probably thinking "oh dear,
  that Maelcum is at it again" and they're right! I've been writing and
  remixing lots and lots of music lately, and this is my latest production.
  It's quite alot different from the original which IMHO was a quite dull
  song.

  FSOL seem to alternate between doing pretty neat things and jumping on
  whatever bandwagon everyone else is on lately, and "We have explosive"
  seems to be an attempt at the Chemical Brothers sort of thing.. IMHO they
  should leave it to the Chemical Brothers. But at any rate it provided some
  good source material for a "remix". I would like to thank Human (Kochun Hu)
  for doing the "We Have Explosive" vocal for me.

Ironically the remix sounds like a Chemical Brothers remix (circa Loops of Fury era)

Well said! I thought it had a chems vibe too
