4.0 out of 5 stars Only essential for fans and completists, September 26, 2003

This is a nifty package, well mastered, but devoid of much in the way of pictures, liner notes (nice essay there though) etc. A definitive best of to be sure, but with many others out on the market I would think only new fans would find it worth picking up, older fans probably have a best of already.

The remixes are, for the most part, unremarkable. Most have the taint of last year's "electroclash" movement and none come close to the remixes on say "Love and Dancing." Still, die hard fans such as myself will find some of them interesting, although none are classic remixes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate League Collection...Sort Of, September 23, 2003

Okay, so here is the fifth "Best of" compilation for The Human League. Did we need another? No, not really. But this is the one to get if you're a fan of great sounding synth pop. Or if you've just been waiting forever for some Human League remixes on CD. All the tracks are digitally remastered (Mirror Man has never sounded better!). The bonus disc has some pretty interesting remixes, although most are really "dub" versions that don't include most of the lyrics. My only complaint (again) is the omission of "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of" on CD1(there is a new remix on CD2)and the inclusion of the boring version of "Being Boiled". The version on the Travelogue album is much better. See also HUMAN LEAGUE DVD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stick to a previous, cheaper compilation, November 8, 2003

Unless you can get this album at a decent, less expensive price, go for the previous compilation instead. Most of the remixes on here are nothing special and just follow the usual dance/DJ-remix formula, if you know what I mean.
