This disc gives you three great tracks from Dubnobasswithmyheadman, along with some so-so remixes.
The two retakes of "Dirty Epic" strike an awkward balance between bouncy techno and the conflicted lyrics of the album version. Theyre decent, but dont stack up. Similarly, the "Cowgirl" mixes lack the originals claustrophobic energy. "Irish Pub" is nice enough, but rather directionless. "Winjer mix" doesnt distinguish itself, and could almost be a different song entirely.
Despite the flaws, this release still worth picking up if you can get it for a bargain. It may be sub-par Underworld, but its still better than most of the cheesy electronica out there.
