Being a worthwhile collection of remixes and reinventions of the infamous "Sour Times" track from DUMMY, it should be noted that two of the major standouts are "Airbus Reconstruction", a notorious reworking of the song by [P] themselves as a grunged-out rocker, and a head-bobbing remix of "Numb", cleverly hidden in the middle of the disc (after a couple of minutes of silence on "A Tribute to Monk & Canatella").
Rated 4/5

Worth having for the powerful song 'It's a Fire'. Quite possibly one of Portishead's best songs. Fabulous vocals from Beth. A really beautiful and strangely uplifting track. You buy the single for the title song and you find one of those gems that you fall in love with quite unexpectedly hidden away as what we called a B-side in the old days. Once you hear it you will find it difficult to get out of your head and not in a bad way either. Pure class.
