...have seriously suggested that Springsteen is now in the business of making money and generating publicity rather than music.

The remix is almost a link between the "regular" electronic sound of today and the unusual spin the Natural Calamity puts on its version of electronic pop. The lyrics of "As You Know" also seem to say what Peach Head is all about.
