Monotune (12 Inch Version)

Tomorrow (12 Inch Version)

Bilingual (12 Inch Version)

Ultra Curve (12 Inch Version)

Strong release from CG. Monotune is probably the weakest of all (though that's up to debate), but the rest hits hard as hell, especially Tomorrow. Bass-wise, Ultra Curve is the obvious winner.

There's also the breakbeat edit of Bilingual, which was included on Earth Mover. It's also very nice:

The 12 inch version of Bilingual actually seems to be the dub mix of I Feel Wonderful (no, not the other way around)

which is a cover of Freefall feat. Jan Johnston - Skydive

There must've been some problems with the release of I Feel Wonderful in 2004 (this is partially proven by the change of the title), which led to their decision to release the dub mix with, again, a changed title (Bilingual). It seems to be a reference to the "we have our own language" line in the lyrics.

There's also this Riley & Durrant remix of I Feel Wonderful, which uses parts of Bilingual:

So, if things went different, perhaps the names of these tracks would be:
Freefall feat. Jan Johnston - Skydive (Cosmic Gate Dub Mix) instead of Cosmic Gate - Bilingual (12 Inch Version)
Freefall feat. Jan Johnston - Skydive (Cosmic Gate Remix)
instead Cosmic Gate feat. Jan Johnston - I Feel Wonderful (12 Inch Version)
Freefall feat. Jan Johnston - Skydive (Cosmic Gate vs. Riley & Durrant Remix)
? instead of Cosmic Gate feat. Jan Johnston - I Feel Wonderful (Riley & Durrant Remix)
