Love this approach to a greatest hits! Totally agreed on generally avoiding them as a rule, usually a lazily assembled collection of whatever the gobshites in major label boardrooms deem to be "great".
This feels so fresh and think artists of all genres could learn from Orbital on this one. As for Orbital themselves, they've never sounded better than on this! Loving the new mixes and tweaked oldies. What a great celebration of their legacy.
What's another rare greatest hits that you think was done well? Hate to say it, but U2's Best of's were pretty good because they included b-sides and remixes. Especially liked 1990-2000 because the mixes for Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop were such a creative time for them I don't think they'll ever approach again. "Electrical Storm" wasn't a bad single either, produced by William Orbit, another 90's classic UK producer.
