Sugarcubes "It's it/Remixes"

I'm not a very big fan of remix-albums, unless they're Björk-related. Circa 90 percent off the remix-albums you find in a record-store are just unnecessary tries to make more money for the artist and the record-company and I'm sorry to say it but that goes for this one too. There are two really smashing remixes at this album. Marius de Vries' remix of "Pump", that's and the "Bryan Chuck New"-mix of "Water", with some of the greatest drum and guitar-sounds you'll ever find at a Sugarcubes-song. The rest of the remixes has neither got the rawness, strength or surplus of energy you find at an original Sugarcubes-song. They're just slower, more synthetic and poppier versions of the originals. The Sugarcubes had their roots in Icelandic punk, that's something you can't tell from this album. I don't know what you think but I consider two good songs and eleven really mediocre ones not reason enough to buy an album. I only recommend "It's it" to Sugarcubes-fanatics and Björk-fans who hates all kinds of guitar-ridden music.
