IS this still in print? Nice remixes, fans may be baffled

"I recall that when this CD came out ther reaction by the fans of Talk Talk was one of horror. And I must admit, as a Talk Talk fan it WAS pretty odd that a band who had been moving away from any sort of dance music (if early hits like "Talk Talk" or "Its My Life" can be classified as dance music, which I think they can) to come out with this.Of course, the truth was that EMI did the remixes without the band's knowledge and a big rwo ensued after this album's release. Basically the band did not want to pay for remixes they did not approve.However (!) in the end I find this to be a interesting, well done remix album. There are a lot of nice mixes here, love the Fluke remix for example. One needs to enjoy this album as a mid 90s dance music example and not so much as a Talk Talk album per se."
