Could be Worse

"I'd recommend this cd to a fan of the older stuff who just wants to hear the songs done a little differently. This best of consists of the Missions greatest hits but remixed. What gave it away is the fact it's put out by Cleopatra who do not own the rights to the original catalog. So therefore it should be pretty easy to assume right off the bat these songs wouldn't be in the original format.
Some of these remixes are fun. The remix of Severina has a bit more bass.. the remix of Love me to Death has a slower groove to it. This isn't a bad cd whatsoever but if you're expecting the untouched originals you will be quite sad. If you're new to the Mission this isn't the cd to get. Sum and Substance would be a better start point. If you've heard it all before and want something a lil different then it's worth the 10 spot."
DO NOT BUY THIS CD

"This IS NOT a best of The Mission UK. Don't get ripped off by this collection from Cleopatra. I did get ripped off. I'll never buy another product from Cleopatra. Shame on you Cleopatra! (the Label) They tell you it's a Best Of, but they are ALL very (VERY) lame remixes. They do not remotely sound like the same songs, or even The Mission UK. The packaging does not say these are remixes.
Intead, buy something else such, as Sum and Substance."
