Very generic techno mixes...

"So, another of those Erasure maxi-CDs. The version I'm reviewing is the US version, which might have different tracks. The first four tracks are techno mixes by JX & the beatmasters. It's all rather filler-sounding, the first track (JX mix) is the most promising but it sounds a bit too mindlessly ATB-ish for its own good.Then you have the b-side "Dodo" which is just plain weird (not in a good way).Finally you have an alternative version of "Because You're so sweet" from the "I Say^3" album, which is the only decent song here. This version is more acoustic sounding than the album version. (But, this song might not even be on the import single, so there you have it...)All in all, only for the Erasure collector."

Half great

"Erasure made 3 CD singles when they could have compiled them on just one. Clearly they were trying to squeeze their fans for cash, but I shamelessly followed suit. I like the mellow second version here and the instrumental b-side "Dodo." When there's 2 good songs on a 4-songed disc, I don't really complain."
