5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Music, October 29, 2002

This is another great remix album following in the great footsteps of it's predecessors Irreverence and Saturday 3am. Its a great concept that pre-dated the current fad of releasing remix albums and delivers with most of its tracks. It starts of with the radio edit of One Step Too Far, which combines former member Dido's amazing voice with Maxi Jazz's powerful lyrics over a nice pop beat. Easily my favorite track. Other tracks of interest are the tracks Giving Myself Away(P-Nut Remix)which adds a great beat to already great lyrics and Liontamer (Ernest St Laurent Rem Mix) which give the song a completely new sound. The rest of the tracks well done, although I was not impressed with the We Come 1 remixes, though I may be biased in thinking there was no way to improve upon the amazing original version, found on the included Outrospective CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contreary to the meager "Outrospective" [Special Edition], November 28, 2003

I have written a review last year on how the 'special edition' remix album was very disappointing to those who have the singles because frankly they were mostly on that album. This time "Reperspective" has corrected that problem and I'd say it's up near the ranks of "Irreverence" and "Saturday 3 A.M."

Most of the ten tracks are all brand new with the classic touch of Faithless that I've missed from the other albums. Such examples are "Liontaimer" (Ernest St. Lauraunt Remix) is a fast-paced jazzy upbeat that keeps me going and I believe this is better than the original. "Not Enuff Love" (Skinny Remix) may be shorter than the original, however the remake is nothing more than sheer brillance to suit my mellow mood. "Crazy English Summer" (Hiver and Hammer Remix) is the opposite of the original due to the even-faster-pace club treatment which paid off well. "Giving Myself Away" (P-Nut Remix) got the slow hip-hop treatment opposite to its original electronica counterpart. I tip my hat for the brand new "Daimoku" and "Lotus" tracks which are simply put: ravishing.

I was quite disappointed with "God is a Beckham" because this is what I basically call 'Tarantula Redone' and not like the incredible "God is a DJ". I also didn't care too much for the other "Crazy English Summer" (Brothers on High Remix), "We Come 1" (Wookie Remix) and "One Step Too Far" but I'm more than willing to pay a visit to those tracks once in a blue moon. I guess we can't always get what we want, huh?

Overall I give this gem 4/5 mainly because of the songs listed (in second paragraph) and they gave more than what I expected.

I'm a huge fan of Faithless, and these remixes are ok, but I want to stress that the version I bought anyway, you can't copy it to your computer. Since I listen to cds almost exclusively on computer or mp3, it makes it pretty much worthless. Shame on you Faithless.
