Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Everything but the Girl (Ben Watt and ex-Marine Girl Tracey Thorn) have gone through two distinct phases in their career--they spent most of it as an acoustic, folky duo with some occasional lounge accompaniment, but after a Todd Terry remix of Amplified Heart's "Missing", they veered toward the dance floor. "Best of" tries to encapsulate all of that in 15 tracks and while it brings together many of the essential songs--the remix of "Missing", "Apron Strings", "Rollercoaster", "I Don't Want To Talk About It" and even Thorn's guest vocal on Massive Attack's "Protection"--it also has a lot of holes. There are only 10 tracks from EBTG's entire nine album pre-remix career and none that feature Watt as vocalist; also missing is Thorn's guest slot on the Style Council's "Paris Match" (from Café Bleu). As a slightly lopsided introduction to EBTG, this collection is fine but you might do better buying a few albums instead (start with Amplified Heart, Idlewild, and Walking Wounded). --Randy Silver Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Not the Best of, but a good try...Not the very best of EBTG, but the stand out tracks for me are: Missing, Apron Strings, I don't want..., Driving and Protection. Gives a good insight into EBTG world, but for a complete look you need to get the albums that make up this collection. A good attempt though, just not good enough... Rating:  - NOT best of ...To be honest, I don't like EBTG much. I only like one song "I don't wanna talk about it" - this is the reason I bought this collection. The rest of the song are only average. If you're a collector of Greatest Hits albums, then OK, If not, I will not recommend not buying it because you like 1 or 2 songs. You can find them on various artist albums. Peter S Rating: - EBTG switch labels and start becoming really succesful.....so ebtg switch labels and start becoming really succesful in the dance aren...they pull out the best of ebtg's past life as a folky band and release it with a few of their recent mixes cobbled on. two problems here. the first is that it hasn't been done exceptionally well and you don't get a glimpse into the development of the band as you might have done, for instance had the track choice (and ordering) been better. the second is that it their older stuff isn't that great (imo) and this forms the majority of the album. still there are some good tracks. but if (like me) you like their more recent stuff then this may not be for you. Rating:  - lots of the old, but fantastic, memorable tunes!this album starts of with one of the best tunes that everything but the girl has released. with its eights style but modern beat this album has something to make you cry and not forgetting to make you bop.if its a varaity of old skool and up beat tunarunies...its one for the wish list |
