I dunno about Astralasia, but the other name credited for the remix
was Swordfish. They're a techno band from Sydney, Australia, usually
on the Volition label (who do Severed Heads, Itch-e+Scratch-e, etc.;
mostly Sydney techno bands.) They're kinda pulp techno, but (as
techno goes) they're usually better than this.. The "Uncle Sam"
remixes were pretty bad IMHO.

As a HW newbie, my opinion is expressed very _very_ humbly, but I'd
like to say the album QS&C has many _excellent_ tracks which are more
"sensible" than the song QS&C (e.g. "Spirit of the Age").
