You remember very little. :-)

St. Etienne is *not* a house band, and thier vocalist, Sarah Cracknell, is
most definately *not* a "diva". They're a pop band, and she's a pop
singer. 

As for the remixes, I don't have Casino Classics, but I've got the first
edition of the single collection which included a bonus remix disc, most
(or perhaps all) of which ended up on C.C. as well, and I quite enjoy it.
The Aphex Twin mix is especially good. Wish it had the Autechre mix, tho.
