Eh....
There are three versions of "Death of a Party", and the only one I really like is the Billy Whiskers version. This album isn't really that great. All the rest drag on for far too long. The Moby remix of Beetlebum, John McIntyre's Theme From Retro, and the broadway On Your Own actually sound like different songs, and are well thought out. In the end, however, you're sitting around for an hour listening to some half-hearted remixes that drag on for far too long. The remixes of Bugman off of Coffee and TV were much better on the whole, all different styles and under six minutes apiece. On this album we get a 12 minute opus of all the many tracks in Essex Dogs played separately. Not too exciting, but interesting.

The second disc is pretty great, Graham blisteringly leading them through some singles. Amazing, but only twenty minutes long. If only they cut out three of the remixes and added some more John Peel tracks!.


As good as a regular Blur album
All the different mixes of their songs from the 'Blur' album are killer. This is a great album. They are not some short cut boring remix versions you find on most CD singles, but songs in their own right. Some of them sound like brand new songs. Check out the fantastic mix of Essex Dogs by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. The second CD is 6 good live tracks from Peel Acres.


if you like techno...
d. this is a solid blur c. with techno remixes of old blur songs. if you like techno, this is the perfect blur album for you. if you don't, don't buy it. i listen to this c. d. while driving somwehere exciting. it is an exciting c. d. and i suggest you give it a try.
