5.0 out of 5 stars excellent compilation for an (almost) unknown band, December 6, 1999
By Arnaud de Bonald (Paris, Paris France) - See all my reviews
I was greatly surprised when I received this CD afew days ago. Waw. 21 tracks ! and the Music... I still can't believe it was composed in the late 70's & 80's. It sounds fresh. I sounds modern! It's very enjoyable. If you like Kraftwerk, catshy rythme and processed vocals with vocoder etc. You will love this CD even at first listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars... Excellent Music, But Sequencing is Dazing, July 1, 2004
By Paul Allaer (Cincinnati) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Telex, one of the true electronic music pioneers (along with Kraftwerk), comes from my home country Belgium. I still lived in Belgium in Telex's heydays (78-83), and from their very first single ("Twist a St. Tropez", a summer hit in 78), I just fell in love with the sound of the band, and bought every single, maxi-single and album these guys put out. It makes for one heck of a (vinyl) collection now. It took many years, but finally Telex has been served right with a true "best of" compilation. I won't call it "greatest hits" as they really did have only a handful of real "hits", primarily the afore-mentioned "Twist" and their signature song "Moscow Discow".

"I Don't Like Remixes/Original Classics 78-86" (21 tracks, 77 min.) brings those hits, most singles that didn't become hits, key album tracks and even a few B-sides (such as "Troppical" and "Pakmovast", both essential instrumentals in Telex's output). As noted elsewhere, a huge omission is "L'Amour Toujours", one of their better singles. Also MIA: "Soul Waves", another good single (unavailable on album or CD until the "Belgium... One Point" box set), "Sigmund Freud's Party", an excellent single that finds Telex at its wittiest, and "Eurovision", the song that took Telex to the 1980 Euro-Vision contest, with hilarious (but real-life) consequences. I wish this "best of" would have been sequenced chronologically, improving the flow of the songs (I'm dazed going from "Moscow Discow" to "Peanuts", for example). There also should have been less emphasis on the latter era-songs: songs like "Beautiful Li(f)E", "Spike Jones" and "Peanuts" simply don't measure up to the earlier era-music.

If you really REALLY like Telex, then consider getting the "Belgium... One point" box set, also available on Amazon. It's a fabulous 4 CD set, compiling all 5 Telex studio albums, with numerous B-sides, alternative and unreleased tracks, not to mention hilarious, tongue-in-cheek liner notes by Marc Moulin himself, as well as full lyrics and tons of pictures. Truly the motherlode of all things Telex.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Like I Don't Like Remixes, Buy it!, February 7, 2004
By music lover (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
The first song I ever heard by Telex was Peanuts (Rock, Rock!) when I was about 15 in a dance club, and I loved them for their off beat deep grooves, innovative sequencing and funky samples. This album introduced me to many song that I had never heard before, but have grown to love, especially Raised By Snakes. If you like groovy old electronic music like Kraftwerk or Yellow Magic Orchestra's first album then you will love this album. I'll never sell it back to the used cd store, it's classic.
