Title: Loses what makes them so good
Review: These remixes are a mixed bag, and overall, a disappointment to those like me who rate Bowery Electric at the height of their genre (much better than, say, Massive Attack) for their uncanny intuitive spot-on ability to find perfect real (almost hybrid sexual and meditative) grooves. Basically these tracks take those grooves and add on what really is so annoying about most others in the field, namely the typical pitfalls of drum and bass: loud artificial drum machines and casio-like atmospherics. Even the good tracks like "Empty Words" suffer.If you're a fan of the genre in general, this is nice double-cd to pick up. There are enough interesting moments and ideas and a few wonderful tracks to make the modest price well worth it. Would I put this on when I have company? Never. Definitely not in the same class as "Lushlife" or "Beat."
