Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
"Extremis," the truly lame single on which X-Filer Gillian Anderson makes the first of what will likely be many bad career moves, sounds and feels like electronica's death knell. The rest of Disc one here redeems the genre with fine body slams by Fluke and Chemical Bros. Disc two delves into the past with ambient trips by David Sylvian, Brian Eno, and William Orbit, among others. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the first of many GREAT career moves for Anderson, March 24, 2000
By Kim (US) - See all my reviews
Extremis is great. Mysterious, and honest about human beings inner thoughts when it comes to the subjects of passion and confusion. Gillian's soft mysterious voice captures the mood of this song and creates a wonderful preview to the remaining wonderful tracks. i highly DIS agree with the editorial review, and commend Anderson on this compilation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent concept, but spotty choices, August 24, 1999
By A Customer
I really admire Gillian for opening herself up to criticism by working on an album like this. Not every person in the spotlight is secure enough in their knowledge of a subject outside of their area of fame to contribute to it, and I feel that she has done well here. Most of the tracks are excellent, and I especially liked the Chemical Brothers and Orbit tracks (even though the Orbit one is on almost every techno compilation known to man). Extremis isn't very innovative, but it's well done, and her voice contributed nicely. However, several of the tracks felt like they were filler, and the Extremis remix was unnecessary. This would have been a better album if it had been limited to one disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!, November 5, 1998
By A Customer
This one was dropped on my desk by a friend. Didnt know it was Gillian Anderson on the first cut until I came out here to buy it. Very rightous. If you like Beramundy samplers or the techno cuts from 'Hackers' then this CD is definitely something you want!!
