    I'm pretty sure there was a clear case cd single with a clear sticker on it as well...

      This was huge in Gothenburg 1993 ... Every DJ bought this track for the "Crystal Clear (456 Mix)" only ... Big balearic track in the north ... Im a huge fan of the B2 // Subwaybaby

        Crystal Clear was inspired by the electronic shops on Tottenham Court Road selling electronic surveillance devices and bugs offering "crystal clear reception" and by the films The Conversation and Videodrome.

          The Grid had a lot of success with later tracks, but for me, this was their finest moment. While the Justin Robertson mixes were popular dancefloor tracks, the best was the Trimar mix, being a subtle improvement of the 456 mix.
          The Orb remixes are a good example of the way Paterson's music was heading - a bit more upbeat than Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and would probably fit onto Orblivion more than anywhere. By that point the Grid were filling dancefloors with cheesy swamps and cowboys. Credit to them though - they're in my collection.
