Closing this trip into alternate possibilities is 'Boo Hoo', an early, shorter version of 'The Sky At Night' that gently carries the cinematic mood of the album back to now.ДЄs Kev puts it, 'ItвЂ™s not a new DJ Food album, itвЂ™s an old one that never was. Originally intended for the album, these tracks were instead reworked and cut up into an EP shortly after. At 13 minutes long, 'Quadraplex (A Trip To The Galactic Centre)' is the Companion's meditative piece de resistance, pieced together from various takes of its separate composite tracks. 'The Crow (Slow)' stretches out the melodic theme of one of the most recognizable tracks in the DJ Food repertoire, extending it into a soothing soundscape that eventually dissolves into an alternate dub version. 'Stealth' is an alternate version of the Gentle Cruelty remix of 'The Ageing Young Rebel' (also included on Xen cuts) but with Nordine's vocal replaced by a somber voice mulling the disasters of morbid self-attention. The big-band-meets-easy-listening 'Hip Operation' was repurposed for the first version of Sukia's 'Feelin' Free' remix while the swirling funk of 'A Strange Walk' was an unreleased version of the same remix that eventually made it onto the Xen Cuts bonus disc. Sonically, at least, DJ Food's vision of the future wasn't that far off and as Kev remarked when they first released the mixes some of these tracks 'should have never been left in a drawer for two decades.'Д®lsewhere, the Kaleidoscope Companion throws up plenty of 'hey I know this!' moments. Opener 'The Ents Go To War' with its brooding arrangement and heavy drums feels stunningly current, as does the hypnotizing dance between bassline and snare on 'Skylark' or the fidgety percussion and airy synthesizers of 'Zoom Zoom'.

They found more than they bargained for, compiling versions, alternate mixes, and unreleased ideas into a series of mixes that have now been further refined into the Kaleidoscope Companion and presented alongside the original album on quadruple vinyl.
