This is DJ Shadow at his best. The UNKLE remix of GDMFSOB is LARGE with Roots Manuva sitting perfectly on the beat as always. For me he makes the track what it is. The two remixes of Right Thing are completely contrasting with the Ghetto Tech remix being quite tech housey and nothing like usual Shadow material while the Z-Trip remixes are filled with superb acid tinged breakbeats.

The Soulwax mix of Six Days is also brilliant and compliments the original mix because it is so different hence adding a new dimension to the track. However I feel this double 12" is let down by Walkie Talkie and Mashin' On The Motorway which I personally do not like at all. Overall this is a very worthwile purchase and I'm glad to own it.

The Soulwax remix of 'Six Days' is based on the drumbeat & guitar riff of '52 girls' from the B52's on their album 'Play Loud'. One more spot-on job from the belgian bastard remixers.
