Search - Everything But the Girl :: Everything But the Girl Vs. Drum N Bass

The last three mixes are pretty good (especially "Single"), but if you're a big enough EBTG fan to be considering getting this, you probably already have them on Like the Deserts Miss the Rain, Walking Wounded, and Adapt or Die, respectively. That leaves you with the Spring Heel Jack mix and dub, which aren't very different from the album version (which Spring Heel Jack co-produced). If you're a completist or don't already have those albums, then by all means, go for it, but otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

Outstanding jazzy dnb

"What these artists have done with this one track exemplifies great remixing skills. The Dave Wallace remix is especially rewarding. And Photek's "Single" adds the promise of a little bit of hope to the barren album version. If you've never heard drum n bass before (though that may be a pretty astonishing feat at this point in time), this is a great introduction to the jazzier side. If you're an experienced listener, you already know that all of these artists rarely disappoint. Minus a star only because the two Spring Heel Jack tracks are too similar (but both good)."
