...Missing” instead of Röyksopp’s epic ass-grinder from the special edition. Even the hotly-anticipated new mixes from ex-Unicorns groups Islands and Th’Corn Gangg do little but make Beck’s source material sound sped-up, slowed-down, and silly.The only Beck original is the final cut, “Clap Hands” (unfortunately unrelated to the Tom Waits classic of the same name), previously available on the “Guero” special edition.

Blueliner Dave MacDonald foiled a scoring chance with a big hit as well. After losing his stick while back-checking, the defenseman simply leveled his opponent. Nevertheless, there was little...
...catchiest electro-pop ever to hit a dance floor. Here, 2 Many DJs finally gets around to remixing Soulwax, and never mind the identity politics, it works to great effect. The pedestrian angst of Krack is recast with a tighter rhythm and a jubilant harmony; Miserable Girl is sped up to sound decidedly less like one. The rock soul of their originals remains, but they're more fun with dancing shoes...
