Although the album has never been released on CD, it was remixed by Youth, Greg Hunter and Astralasia in 1992^[4] and released on CD under the new title 'Jaggernaut Whirling Dub'.^[5]

The original Jaggernaut LP is in four parts. Side A contains the first two, which are based on ragas Bhairavi & Bhupali, and Side B contains interpretations of ragas Yaman Kalyam & Misra Pahvadi.^[6]

These would later become some of the most often remixed Suns of Arqa tracks, as remixes of the album produced not only Jaggernaut Whirling Dub,^[7] but also 'Cradle' (1992)^[8] and a further remix album of 'Cradle' in 2002.^[9] The B-Sides of a later single 'Erasmus Meets The Earthling'^[10] were three tracks remixed from Jaggernaut Whirling Dub, entitled "Whirling Dub", "Whirling Full" and "Whirling Forest".^[11]

And these re-remixes were themselves remixed further... "Whirling Dub" was yet again remixed by Bryn Jones for Musilimgauze^[12] and "Whirling Forest" was remixed for the album 'Technomor' in the late 1990s!^[13]
