UK Import
This release is a companion to the band's 1995 greatest hits package, The Best Of New Order. 10 remixes, 80 minutes of dance/techno music. While none of the remixes are better than the originals, they are different enough for a curious listen every now and then, sort of like the Pet Shop Boys' Disco 2. I have to confess to a little chair dancing as I write this. Bottom line: this album is completely superfluous, but if you like New Order, you'll like this.
Tracks: The better remixes here are True Faith (Shep Pettibone remix) and Regret (Fire Island mix). The most abrasive remix is Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction mix) which is too much for me from the get-go. Naturally, Confusion is the longest track at 10:12.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None. Since it was never released here in the US (that I know of), I was unaware of this release until I saw it sitting in a used bin. Obviously, I couldn't pass it up. The CD insert contains list of the then-current New Order digital offerings, including a DVD:
