4.0 out of 5 stars Great remixes of already great songs, June 27, 2002
By A Customer
This remix import needs a better review, not just to make it look better, but because it actually deserves it. I was not really a fan of the Cardigans until I heard the Gran Turismo album which a friend of mine had. I instantly fell in love with the album. And coming from someone who's mostly into R&B and some Dance/Techno, this is one of my FAVORITE albums. The album is one that I could never get tired of. I think it's great and I am guessing just about anyone would enjoy it if given a listen. I was very excited to learn that there was a remix EP including some of the songs from Gran Turismo. It's been several months since I've had it, but I did want to say that the remixes are great. All, of course, are remixed by Naid and seem to be more "upbeat" than the album versions. The only "remix" that is about the same tempo as it's album version is "Hanging around." Other songs such as "Erase/Rewind" and "My favourite game" have all been sped up and extended a bit, which I think makes them even better since they last LONGER. This collection is actually at a very nice price and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Cardigan's Gran Turismo album. Hope this review helped someone out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cardigans for anoraks, February 13, 2009
By A. Smith "Adamsez" (London, England United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're reading this you probably know already that The Cardigans' career is one of pop's treasure trails. For me, there are two essential tracks here. This version of 'Higher' wraps simple pop optimism in uneasy desolation: in my opinion, this ambiguity characterises the Cardigan's more mature work. I rate this 'Higher' a sraight upgrade to the album version. 'Hanging Around' is here transformed into something deeper, rumbling and menacing - another Cardigan characteristic found in, for instance, the outstanding later track 'Godspell'. I can just about put up with Junk Of The Heart, here given an aimless disco makeover pushing it into musak territory.
