    I can't say LCD Soundsystem is my favourite band. But I can certainly say that James Murphy is my truly inspiration for my musical career. His projects including the ones with Tim are simply amazing and revolutionary. This work defines James and Tim geniuses, creating an unique compilation with remixes that you won't see anything like these. BRAVO!!!

    Amazing! Anybody that does not pose to be a music master, pop lord, or king of ear noises (AKA All around pompus jerks) would know Gorillaz is a stand on its own! It goes up against the world, smacks it in the face, and seems to say 'Betcha you weren't expecting that, now where ya??' Gorillaz - Original, beautiful, wonderful.

    A lot of remixes can sound like novelties, but the DFA manages to make these tracks sound better than the original versions. Undeniably catchy and danceable, even for those who don't dance.

    DFA are the best at making dance music for people that don't like dance music. Matt A, how much did you spend on the girl?

    got some great tracks on here but also the odd average one. the problem is that all of these remixes would sound great in a DJ set but put them all on the one CD back to back and the formula gets a little stale. but it is a compilation rather than an album so i guess you can't expect something that plays well start to finish

    When I listen to this album it makes me want to fuck a girl, beat the shit out of someone, dance my ass off, and break something all at the same time. Fucking awesome, man.

    I got this thinking that this is when DFA would start lagging behind, thinking that their creative juices would start to wane. This is not the case.

    Its so hard to find consistently steller, innovative, and extremely listenable musical acts. Everything the DFA touches exudes these qualities. If you dont already know and love this label, get your head out of sand and listen to this cd.l

    Those who missed these gems the first time around would be hard-pressed to find another dance disc in 2006 that rivals the level of quality found here.

    Great remixers, like great ballad interpreters, take songs to wildly unlikely places while respecting the material. [14 Apr 2006, p.85]

    A few good ideas emerge, but are then repeated endlessly to the point of sheer boredom.
