Totally agree about "Fugitive" being overrated. The track just sounds like a lazy b-side to me. "In Private" is terrible. It's not very inspired and I don't think Elton John blends well with Neil. At least it's not the early nineties when every song was ruined by redundant house music remixes. I do appreciate the extra disc and most of it is good. I also realize it's a bonus disc and I had the option to purchase "Fundamental" without it so I guess I shouldn't really complain.

Actually, I was prepared that the whole thing should be shite when I've heard the first comments about it, but I think it's rather OK! - actually it's better than ANY other 'bonus' CD that we've been stuck with during the years!

* Fugitive is already a classic, should have been a normal album track at least!
* Sodom by Trentmoeller, knowing what I've heard from Trentmoeller before I was pleasantly surprised, not anything special - but much better than I anticipated!
* Psychological, since I don't like the regular vocal version that much, then I think this mix gives a new life to the track!
* Flamboyant, not any masterpiece, but mr Mayer has been very careful not destroying the original track, and that I like! - a little bit better use of the samples, and this would have been a classic!
* I'm With Stupid, not any of the better I'm with stupid-mixes, but not any of the worst either, forgettable but def. not unlistenable.
* In Private! - Lovely! -what can I say otherwise? - lovely!
* Minimal, aaaaah - a disco masterpiece that has been treated with quite some respect, not right there at the top, but a good try!
* Gomorrah, the dullest mix of them all, not crap, but extremely forgettable.

In total I'd say 7/10 - and I'm usually VERY picky when it comes to PSB-mixes mind ya
