Rec.1999 / Reiusse / Ecopack

Super Roots 7 and Super Roots 8 are both Japanese-only EPs of cover material.

7 will sound familiar to Mekons fans; ostensibly, it's an extended cover of the group's second single, "Where Were You?" The gods and goddesses of the rave had their way with the Boredoms by its 1998 release date, particularly in its exuberant, 20-minute "Boriginal" mix (numerologically helping to celebrate the Mekons' 20-year anniversary as an active band by proxy). Both this version and the two Eye-sanctioned remixes that bookend it lock into the mekano-heartbeat of Krautrock and embrace synthesizers more fully than any previous releases. These are joyous chords that ring out with precision and abandon alike, when warranted.

Tracklista:
"7~ (Ewe Remix)" – 4:04
"7→ (Boriginal)" – 20:55
"7+ (Eye Remix)" – 8:12
