Not many of the mixes have been mentioned on this album. To save confusion; the following have been identified:

1-02 - Their Law (Their Law Album Edit)
1-06 - Poison (95 EQ Edit)
1-08 - Voodoo People (Their Law Album Edit)
1-09 - Charly (Alley Cat Mix)
1-10 - No Good (Start The Dance) (Original Mix)
1-11 - Spitfire (05 Version)
1-12 - Jericho (Original Version)
1-13 - Everybody In The Place (Fairground Mix)
1-14 - One Love (Original Mix) *previously unavailable in CD format however, this is actually an edit of the full Original Mix found on XLT 47, so should be (Original Mix Their Law Album Edit) or something different to the standard "One Love" (Edit).
1-15 - Hot Ride - Although it is the exact same track this version is roughly 1.75% faster than "Hotride" [Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned, XLCD 183]. The key has been pitched up proportionate to the percentage. Notice the spelling differences.

2-05 - No Man Army - Same title as "Smack My Bitch Up" CD Single track [XLS 90 CD] however this version is roughly 7.2% faster (but is in the same key) it has a shorter duration and is roughly 116BPM (The other version is roughly 108BPM).

Reviews & Discussion

Review by K_Stefan Dec 16, 2006 (edited over 2 years ago)
Once again, "Fire (Burning Version)" has been excluded from a Prodigy album. It‘s not even on the second disc, nor is the video on the DVD. Most people who buy compilations do so to get into the band, and it was “Fire (Burning Version)”, together with “Out Of Space”, who got me into them, something I probably share with a lot of people.
And what about “Baby’s Got A Temper”? All these three tracks had big importance in Prodigy history.
If space was the issue, some of the other tracks could easily have been removed.
Rated 5/5
Review by FeeL.X Jun 19, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
I simply could have said that this album is only worth buying for the bonus disc if you're already a Prodigy fan that has the previous albums. It is because, as a fact, the second disc is really a good disc to own as it features a full list of yet unreleased songs interesting enough to be gathered together. But it's not only this. It is the album that shows all the great retrospective of the group and the best of their work on one simple CD. However, there remain a few details that, in my opinion, should have been changed. As example, "Hotride" is a single track that I deeply dislike, so its presence on the CD doesn't thrill me that much (happily, it's the only one in that case). But, as the main deficiency, the CD is called "The Singles 1990-2005", but there isn't even the first single of all, which is "What Evil Lurks". We can even see a tag refering to it inside the booklet, how could have Liam Howlett dared forget to add this classic to the compilation? After all, none of this affect the fact that "Their Law" is still a great retrospective compilation of The Prodigy, and its name as also been well chosen to represent them. But, I think I cannot force you to get it, like I cannot force you to reach the nirvana... ;-p
