After all my moaning about the collaborations, it turns out I'd probably agree with this actually. I like Grace on both CDs, but the Telematic Peal mix is just more... Underworld. Scribble I love the vocals, but the High Contrast stuff still pisses me off.
Oh, I think I'd probably take Hamburg Hotel Essex too, it's a bit weirder and I like that.

On the whole, the disc does sound a bit like work in progress versions, remixes, demos and such as opposed to finished tracks for a lot of it. I can imagine the versions of ALAF, Bird 1 and such being on EPs if anything. Sooooooooooo yeah. Not the Underworld version of the album some of us were expecting/hoping for, but it's still an enjoyable and interesting disc.
