HaHa! Watching that video and hearing "We Have Explosive (Herd Killing)" brought back a crazy memory - playing WipEout 2097 on the Playstation One. It was one of the licensed tracks along with "Firestarter" and Underworlds "Tin There". I even have the offical soundtrack on cd!

I used to have a load of ropey copies of FSOL on tape, I should really get this best of.

Saw this. Skipped it. I have most of their CD single/ep thingies, but even if I didn't I wouldn't feel the need to pick it up...it's just another one of those half assed unneccesary "greatest hits" albums that could have been done SOOO much better. The vast majority of the tracks are just taken from the albums when they could have chosen a much better alternative..it makes me cry ;__;

Secondly, I always felt that from Lifeforms as far as Dead Cities inclusive, they were really more of an album band, excepting a few tracks most of them wouldn't have worked outside the context of an album...Lifeforms' the kind of thing I'd stick on, listen to 30 minutes or so (bit excessive to be listening to the whole thing in one fell swoop

) and put on something else, I wouldn't just listen to one track, same with ISDN and Dead Cities, with perhaps the exception of the utterly sublime Vit Drowning (one of my favourite tracks by any band ever) and Omnipresence (with its wonderful sensual Klaus Schulze samples.)

So meh....though as an introduction to the band's works it's probably very good..though I would have put more Accelerator on it...1 in 8
