Disc Two consists of remixes of many of the groups best recent tracks ("Small Things", "Nin-Com-Pop", "Faking the Books") by the likes of To Roccoco Rot and Two Lone Swordsmen and is JUST OK. None of the remixes come near the perfection of the originals. Whatever charm these remixes possess is transitory at best. One would think that the hushed ambience that characterizes Lali Puna's sound would allow for all kinds of marvelous interventions/expansions/diminutions, but most of the results prove otherwise.On the other hand, Lali Puna themselves are excellent at inhabiting the space of others, whether by remixing (Two Lone Swordsmen's "It's not the worst I've looked", Dntel's "(This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan") or via remakes: Slowdive's "40 Days" and, best of all, the long forgotten (but not by me!) collaboration between Giorgio Moroder and Phil "Human League" Oakley, "Together in Electric Dreams." All these tracks are on Disc One, and here the Amazon reviewer is spot on: Disc One is just about the best Lali Puna album ever. Besides all these gems, there is the thunderous beauty of "Clear Cut", their brilliant collaboration with Bomb the Bass.If you buy this CD for disc one, treating disc two as a kind of bonus disc, you can't go wrong.

Not badBut not great. This is good for background but not real listening. Its an effort to use as real music.
