found this little bit from the forcedexposure website:

Artist: VA (UNIVERSAL INDICATOR)
Title: Innovation In The Dynamics Of Acid: 21st Century
Megamix
Label: REPHLEX (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $15.50
Catalog Number: REPH 117 CD

"Universal Indicator began over a decade ago with various
members of the Rephlex crew continuing their obsession with
acid house music after the Chicago originators seemed to
disappear and the movement got trampled on by some of
today's Ibiza/Radio 1 Trance-suckers. Inspired by UK legends
as well, like Baby Ford, Tony Thorpe, Gerald and 808 State,
not forgetting the Belgian Newbeat phenomenon, Rephlex
didn't understand where this form of music had gone? So we
started continuing the good work... just getting home after
raves and switching on the gear, or knocking stuff up on the
train. Pretty soon it was clear that we had enough tracks to
make the record we wanted to buy. We packed them ourselves
with a some journalists form Germany's Frontpage mag in
Maddog Wallace's garage. You can see a picture of that at
the V&A museum. The original idea was the Battery Chickens
EP, but by the time we had mastered it, we'd come up with
more tracks and another EP was ready. Universal Indicator
was born. We didn't care about artist names, track titles
etc. They were just quick acid tracks to dance to... we
wanted the emphasis on bringing acid back. And it worked...
just after everybody jumped on it... massive European record
labels were born off the back of them and techno started to
get colourful again. (About the only record of that genre I
can remember at that time was one by the legendary Mike
Ink.) The series was a nod to the past-masters and a message
that Lo-Fi can kick it! There are lots of rumours about
these records and who made them on the internet. Even the
supposedly informed versions aren't correct. We've never
read the true story anywhere yet -- maybe that's because
there would need to be the 8 or so participants all
confessing at once for a clear conclusion to be made. Fo

For instance, exports were famously stamped with certain
info -- but that was by a warehouseman at our distributors
who we'd never met. The main reason we're releasing this is
because it's been a while and too many people are begging.
Also, we hate to think of people paying inflated prices when
they could be buying more Rephlex Braindance music instead.
Besides, people still drop this stuff in clubs today. This
CD is a one hour DJ mix by the Kosmik Kommando featuring 27
or so tracks that were originally released on 4 12" vinyl
singles."

The track times on there are a acid in-joke as well...

Full of 1:01s, 3:03s etc....

Looks like this...

This is not a compilation of all Universal Indicator tracks.
It is a mix CD, mixed by Mike Dred, of various UI tracks,
not all of them. And as the tracks are mixed, you don't get
full versions of them.

doesn't matter - it's really fucking good and the tracks
stand the test of time - forget minimal techno - the u i
records were there first

agreed....and a Mix CD is the best home for those tracks;
it's what they were designed orginally for after all;
playing/mixing 'em as part of a set.....

well, it's not the best home for them if you want to play
them out yourself.... which is what they were originally
intended for ;)
