i just got my vinyl copy of this a week ago...(i had the promo,
and the cd single a long time ago)....so i have listened to it
recently..

first up:
remixers : underworld
======================================
track 1 - album version, now considered an all time classic,
from the eerie samples, to the evocative synths, a definitive
underworld track in sound, pacing, and overall mood..

track 2 - a shorter edit, thats actually more related to 'jamscraper'.
with some speech from an asian lady to start off, it then
descends into a more acidy, beat heavy version...with distorted
synths, and echoey vocals...pretty repetitive, until the end,
until a piano solo works its way into it..

track 3 - a more radical reworking of the some with some
cool elements..totally different intro/keyboards, and a
rollicking beat add up to a very good rework...with a few
sparse vocal samples

effort : B+
execution : B
-------------------------------------------------
the album version was such a strong release, the
remixes didn't really improve on it, and in fact aren't
really that great (they're good), but the production values are excellent,
and they start to show the trend of underworld reworking
tracks to go into very different directions
for a second effort it isn't bad, but theres a lot more to come...

thoughts?
