It might been my distaste to the original (the only version/remix that I actually like is Double Decka's on Ballistic Bootleg) that shapes my dislike for the free track.

Buying just the USB, the price per tracks goes for 1.55 GBP per track, which is about what it costs to buy digital tracks.

And supposedly the USB wont have enough space the actual tracks in MP3 format, so buyers will be forced to download WAV version separately.

It was mentioned somewhere that they have indeed been remastered.

They seem to be going hard on not including anything from 98 or later (with some exceptions like Sunshine and the Feelin Fine remix). Not exactly a "30th anniversary" bundle is it, more like 3th anniversary.

if you ask me, that remix is so bad. the vocals and piano are so out of tune it's grating. I dont know if this is how it originally sounded like, as the free download was a Kingsize remake of it.



Yes i remember the original back in the day being odd. Sadly i don't have any of the tape packs from back then where the song may have featured.



Yeah downloaded recently, noticed is Kingsize remake. It's an ok remix, I like the intro with the bassline. The part at 4 minutes, the bassline clashes with the other synth a bit imo.

Pity the free download wasn't a track/remix by F&S.

Yeah from looking at the tracks available looks to be some not there. From the remixes of F&S originals, thought there could have been more available. One remix that I know of that isn't there is Shining Down (Brisk remix). There may be others not there. For ones not there, maybe there were reasons why they weren't included.

Heart of Africa and senti la passione weren't supposed to be on the Box sets as it wasn't, in their own words, "didn't feel like it fit the compilation", because, yet again in their own words "Was made after the millenium", even though they're both from 1998.

It's nice to see that they still offered the tracks for free for those who bought the boxes. But I didn't buy it because of their limiting premise for this Album. And now I'm not going to buy it because it all feels like a money grab for people with nostalgic tendencies.

...Not to mention not keeping a copy of Look At Me Now because they didn't like it, yet they made one of the shittiest trance tracks using the same vocals. Well, at least now I was able to clearly hear what Junior sang XD (thanks for the person who streamed it to me)

Won the prize draw for this and will get my money back for the 12 inch box set.

Buzzing for this. Life has got in the way but I’m getting the technics dusted down and have booked them in for their first service over 20 years after I bought them.
