This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Fishing in the record bins for compilations is a lot like angling for real — often you end up with nothing, and sometimes all you snag is an old boot.
But this one’s a trophy catch: 17 pop singles like MmmBop, Just A Girl and Lovefool, cunningly reworked by underground industrial and synth-core bands such as Hexedene and Hate Dept. You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) gets ground into fresh meat, TLC’s Waterfalls gets a touch of NIN fire, and Diamonds Are Forever gets covered by an alien lounge band. Don’t let this sucker be the one that got away.
