"For a group that has produced their own work, it makes a statement that no group member (even Byrne) had input into this album. It's a corporate decision to milk another album from the records, and since they'd done "Sand in the Vaseline," another greatest hits would've been redundant. So we are presented with good remix versions (all approved by TH) of later songs - but no soul. The 12 tracks are from Little Creatures, True Stories, and Naked: not personally the albums I would want remixed. What happened to the idea of "Remain in Light" outtakes or remixes? The album itself is good, and worth the money, if only to complete your library. The corporate idea behind it sucks, and to be honest, that's what I think of it everytime I listen. EMI owes TH much more than this."
