2.0 out of 5 stars
Don't bother with the extends and edits, June 2, 2008
This review is from: Machine + Soul (Remixes) / Cry Baby / Wonder Eye (UK 4 track EP) (Audio CD)
I had expected the alternate mixes of Machine + Soul, a great and under-rated piece of Numan's library, to be, well, alternative. Unlike other of Numan's promo mixes, like of My World Storm these versions, along with the ones on M+S 2, are just extended/edited mixes, with no differences in them really; with the two longer versions you can hear some newer material in the mix, but you hardly notice any difference between the edits and album version, and themselves, being that the shorter mixes have a fifteen second difference.
The other songs you won't need to get this CD for because all reissued formats of the original album have them as bonus tracks. The only really valuable piece on these two EP's would be the 9 minute mix, which is on the second EP.
Oh yeah, same goes with the Emotion single: extended and edited mixes with very little extra value.
