In 1997, The Palominos released another EP, named 'Dead Outside' five remixes of tracks from their album Dead Inside. It was offered exclusively for download from the official Golden Palominos website and Nicole Blackman's website (both now defunct) from October 15, 1997 to November 15, 1997.
1. Victim: The Last Thing (Sean Beavan.John Van Eaton remix)
2. Ride: Pragmatic Spasmatic (Raymond Watts remix)
3. Belfast: Empty As Wire (Scanner remix)
4. Ride (Mark Walk remix)
5. Victim: Interference (John Van Eaton remix)
Anil: The group briefly made an accompanying remix album, Dead Outside, available for free online. Why did you take that approach to releasing it?
Nicole: Because a lot of the remixes that we got were done by friends of mine and by artists who just wanted to do it because they loved it. Raymond Watts from KMFDM and Pig did a remix. Chris Randall from Sister Machine Gun did one. So did Sean Beavan, who's done all of the Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson work. Scanner did one, John van Eaton did two. So, basically those all came in for nothing and Restless said "Well, we're gonna pay Mark Walk from Ruby and maybe one or two other people to do them and there's going to be a club remix and a radio remix." And what came in was very disappointing to everyone. So, I think Restless at this point was like "Aww, forget it. We're just not going to do anything with them." So, Anton and I said "Well, we've got all these remixes for nothing, we might as well just put them up on the Internet and just let everyone download them for free." So, if you see a press release from Restless saying "Restless pushes the envelope by debuting the first remix EP on the Internet," it's a scam. [laughs]
