- both are interchangeable, but generally 'mix' is more likely to be used if 2 artists collaborate on a track and produce different versions of it. eg, Whirlpool vs Octagen - Alaska (octagen mix) & (filo & peri mix)

- that mix looks like an amateur job since neither google or discogs show any results

+1

- A remix is an artist taking a song, and re-interpreting it. Using different synths, sounds, voices, samples, beats, cymbals, etc...

The remixer will still include the main theme or sound to the song, but will put it together in his/her's own way.

I thought the same, since I couldn't find it neither on discogs and amazon...
I think it's supposed to be Trancemission (4 I thinks). There's that random voice in the middle of songs that says "Trannnncccceeeemission".

Edit: dj_lane, thank you too.

Mix and Remix are pretty interchangable. Remix tends to mean a third party mix, where as Mix just means another version by the artist. These are interchangable though. There are rare examples of different versions simply being entitled (Remix), a good example being:

FSOL- Expander (Remix)

In addition, Mixes can be "named" Remixes, ie:

The Orb- Little Fluffy Clouds (Orbital Dance Mix)

or simply named Mixes to distinguish two versions of the same track:

Mauro Picotto- Pulsar (Megamind Mix)
Mauro Picotto- Pulsar (Picotto Verdi Mix)

But I can't bring to mind a Remix with a name before it.

So altogethor, there's no real difference, it's just a name.
