It's okay, I dunno. Only about half of the remixes are good on there, the
rest are naff.
Modaji remix, definitely essential especially since you get a proper five
minute dub which they screwed up on. I've always though that this was
Modaji's finest remix EVER but yet nobody ever plays it! Restless Soul
remix (with bonus dub at the end), it's okay but it's not up to par
completely. The original was a little weird though in the first place.
Muro remix, this is really fresh since it is a nice uptempo mover with a
tuff breakbeat backing (total hip hop mentality on the mix). Kings Of
Tomorrow remix, ah a little uninspiring but everybody and their dogs was on
this and it is boring IMO. It's definitely a nicer KOT remix though.
As for the others, the London Elektricity isn't their best. Again the song
was a little weird though. Peshay mix, is downright crap. Then again, I am
one of those believers who think Peshay's song all sound quite similar.
Organic Audio is okay but it's a little too synthetic. Joujouka TFPP remix
is really crappy.
If you can find 12" for "Good Luck Shore" and "Somewhere" then you are set
(Japanese only). The rest are garbage. I hope you managed to get the
purple sleeved "Flying Saucer" 2x12" on Talkin' Loud though.
