The mixes to go for on here if you're looking for a dance track are the two Jacques LuCont mixes. Both the vocal mix (7:55) and the dub (8:02) have about the same amount of vocal! Just snippets of lines from the song, but both mixes are different, and have a guitar sample that is quite reminiscent of classic New Order. The Goldfrapp mix (4:43) is a trippy mix with no drum track except for a very short industrial slam at the end. The bitstream spansue mix (7:26) is a trippy electronica mix---very messy, with the vocals drowned in effects. And finally, the Telex remix (3:28) is a short moody full vocal mix with a mellow rhythm track, reminiscent of the Violator days.

This extended CD single has 5 mixes of "A Pain that I'm Used To". I especially liked the first one since it reminded me of older remixes of their tunes. Nothing on here which screams "buy the CD", though. I bought it because I've got just about everything the group has done.

a pain that i am used to was the song from Angel screaming for a single, the single is not really good however. the only remix which sounds correct is the Jacques lu Cont mix, his dub is beyond my understanding, it's like almost the same, it also uses all the vocal elements, so why dub? goldfrapp fails to repeat her magical re-production on Halo 2004, this remix is boring, so are the other mixes. what a pity.
