With the exception of one it smells like elevator music modern jazz crap or neutered versions of the songs.

lol..tho korn did do a terrible job of pink floyds another brick in the wall; they usually are amazing..their last cd was astonishingly diffirent to anything theyve ever done..barely recognizeable at times, but in a good way; a more matured band.

1. 'She's Always In My Hair' - D'Angelo
9. 'Sexy Dancer' - 7 Hurtz & Peaches

I already have these two which are by the most popular artists on the disc. Except for Soulwax, I haven't heard of any of the others. Not interested.

And Feist is a guest vocalist on the "Sexy Dancer" cover btw.

bah. fair enough i guess, each to their own; though honestly, listen to thier latest album, and their cd 'untouchables' and prepare for a surprise..more like nu-romanti style than nu-metal at times, with a complete change in vocals.
though i do reckon erotic city could be pulled off ok by them.

I just got this as well. Its terrible. A few of the tracks were released on a tribute a few years back in the UK I believe. Which was a much better compilation. There were some great tracks on there, unfortunately they didnt choose them for this. The Purple Rain cover is downright horrendous.

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81
