1 Control I'm Here (Zero Option Mix) (3:54)
2 Control I'm Here (Instrumental Club Mix) (5:32)
3 K.I.A. (4:29)
4 Control I'm Here (Hardcore Mix) (3:53)
Mastering was screwed up somehow. Track 4 (Hardcore Mix) is actually the same version as Track 1 (Zero Option Mix).
Having quietly split, the band's back catalogue began to appear in DJ sets and mix compilations, and their name would appear in interviews with house and techno producers, (which only served to highlight their enduring influence). In recognition of this development NovaMute released a remix series with three 12-inch singles between 2001 and 2004 - Shame/Join in the Chant, Control I'm Here/Let Your Body Learn, and Murderous/Control I'm Here. The remix of Let Your Body Learn was particularly fruitful as it was given a radical overhaul by French techno producer Terence Fixmer which led first to a friendship and then developed into a recording project between Fixmer and Douglas McCarthy, called simply Fixmer/McCarthy. Live performances (with just a mic and a Mac) around the world followed, which included new versions of Nitzer Ebb songs. This also led to an album released as Fixmer/McCarthy, entitled Between the Devil....
In late 2005, it was announced that McCarthy and Harris (now residing in the US, and producing/engineering for Marilyn Manson and Billy Corgan) had begun to talk about the possibility of a Nitzer Ebb reunion. 2006 saw Nitzer Ebb tour once more, enlisting the services of a female drummer, Kourtney Klein, and focusing on the more electronic phase of their career, with Mute Records finally releasing the 2 CDs set, Body of Work 1984-1997 in June 2006. A companion piece Body Rework, featuring remixes from cutting edge contemporary techno artists such as Motor, Black Strobe, the Hacker, Derrick May, and Robag Wruhme, further highlighted the interest and respect still shown for this groundbreaking, unique, and highly original electronic outfit.
Capitalizing on the success of last year's world tour, Nitzer Ebb began work on new material in Los Angeles earlier this year. A retrospective documentary is set for release later this year.
