>Bjork, _Alarm Call pt.3,_ One Little Indian 

Ouch. The Alarm Call remixes are definitely the worst singles since post
came out (an i started paying attention). Clubby crap as far as i'm concerned.
The two "good" remixes are on CD1: Bjeck mix by Beck (ymmv) and Rhythmic
Phonetics mix by Matmos, which is the only remix i would wholly recommend
to others. Matmos takes bjorks voice and cuts it up and rearranges it to
create a new beat.

Luckily, i didn't pay for my copies so i'm not that pissed. I would
recommend asking others about bjork singles if you don't know. I'm sure the
"All is full of love" singles will be better. (although the remixers
haven't even been announced yet).

Oh, but "Stem/Long Stem" is just so cool...jungle by turntable, passed off
by the media as hiphop

np: Depeche Mode "Only when I lose Myself" (automator remix)
...Yummy.
