f-ing ditto man... I mean, come on! But i'll just buy it for the dvd - just hoping that it'll be region-less, or else I'm screwed!

And it's funny how NOW they're releasing a best of... seeing as they broke up like four years ago. I bet that the upcoming Prodigy best of is a factor w/ this release. And the fact that they're the last of the big electronic bands to release a best of (the Orb -> Orbital -> Chemical Brothers -> Underworld -> Prodigy -> Leftfield ...you could also throw in Primal Scream's one in there too, and MA's dvd)

it's just too bad the release isn't going to have any live stuff

Ack, I never to into Leftfield.

And don't forget Fluke: "Progressive History x"

It's not just electronic music...seems like every band that survives ten years and was reasonably popular gets to put out a "greatest hits" package. Some that come to mind: Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots. Of course, all these bands were/are influential in their own way, but somehow 10 years seems a lil on the short side for hits packages. Just my opinion...

not forgotten isn't hard to find on 12"! it got repressed by simplyvinyl!

i generally dislike best of compilations, especially being a jethro tull fan, and having to sift through around FOUR "greatest hits", "very best of", blah blah before finding an actual album.

i still can't believe that silverchair has a greatest hits compilation. (maybe it fit on a CD3", hardy har har)

Stranger ones include Blur, Supergrass and The Lightning Seeds, Travis and The Bluetones.

I didn't buy any of their albums, because I heard it dubbed, "Uninspirederworld".

[stimpee]

i think people will buy this for

‘Not Forgotten’
‘A Final Hit’
‘Shallow Grave’
‘Snakeblood’
‘More Than I Know’

which are all non-album and all great tracks. me? ive got all the tracks already on cd so i wont bother but lets hope they decide to do a 2cd limited thing with something juicy...

Someone said that about Leftfield? Did they get the wrong band?
