Editorial Reviews

Tom Middleton is a sonic explorer without rival. Through his productions, remixes and legendary DJ sets, he has traveled to the farthest corners of sound. His recordings as Cosmos, Global Communication and The Jedi Knights (alongside Mark Pritchard) have consistently broken new ground in electronic music, and set the standard that others rarely reach. So when Tom decides to share his research into the arcane art of the cover version, you have to expect the unexpected...

This double-disc set features performances by Snow Patrol, The Cure, Busta Rhymes, Scissor Sisters, Paul Weller, U2, Aretha Franklin, and many more surprises – not to be missed! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Unfortunately the track listing Lisa outlined in her review is not on this amazon released version of Cosmosonica. I am not sure why but I found this out the hard way.

Track listing of this product is as amazon has listed.

Lisa is wrong when she said that "The Cure's" version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is on this crappy double set! I bought this crappy 2 cd set for one song, and didn't even get it...this sucks
