Stars (In The Ascendant) − Empirion Remixes  /  23:26

HUM 001CDR

1. Stars (In The Ascendant) [Empirion Mix One]
2. Stars (In The Ascendant) [Empirion Mix Two]
3. Stars (In The Ascendant) [Empirion Mix Three]

Notes

Empirion remixes "Stars" on 12" promo (2 mixes) and CD single (3 mixes), perhaps as a cross-promotional venture / brainchild of Dedicated Records. The term "remix" should be taken lightly here as the results, for example, sound nothing whatsoever like HUM. The following is a blurb about the mixes from the 12" promo single:

"Unknown territory for the HUM guys and gals, just to let you know HUM rock but Empirion rocks them even more. Three mixes which flips HUM on its head and keeps it sparkling into the techno night. (The CD holds the third mix - tell everybody about it.)"
