The live disc will win this, the bonus disc is a nice to have to listen to each song individuly, but it's not a good "whole" disc as are the other 4 in Retro...
I'm currently listening to all discs equally. The 5 discs were converted to MP3 and the full "Retro" were burned onto a single CDR to listen in random mode in my car stereo. :D
i agree with the Dotmusic review... hard to believe many will listen to the Club disc all the way thru at all... Everything's Gone Green and TBTHOG sound so beautiful thou in the middle of all that mediocre stuff.
Mediocre stuff?
What's mediocre on that CD?
Except probably Shellshock and World In Motion..
The Paradise mix is a rarity, the Confusion 2002 remix is good, the Regret mix is a nice to have, though edited, BLT is a classic, Fine Time is the extended mix, 1963 is the best remix from a New Order song in terms of enhancement, the Jam & Spoon mixes of Blue Monday are good, Here To Stay, well, I would have prefered the Felix Da Housecat mix, but this one is a rarity, and the Lee Coombs remix of Crystal is quite good, especially the moment where the piano begins.
Mostly the live stuff one so far, with the club disc in second, and the fan third (haven't played the bonus or pop disc yet, been too busy, but am about to play the bonus very soon).
I have to admit that I found the Live disc a little disappointing. And the one that I thought I would play least (Club) is actually getting the most play. I've never been a fan of mixes, but it's actually quite nice to have all those remixes on one handy disc, rather than strewn across a million vinyl and CD singles. I'd forgotten that some of them are actually quite good (apart from the Blue Monday one, naturally.

Me too. The Club disc has been in my cd player for a couple of days now. I like the Blue Monday mix though, it reminds me of Orbital in a way.
FAN is getting the most airplay. It is very nice to have ELEGIA, PROCESSION, LEAVE ME A LOAN, LONESOME TONIGHT...all in one disc (I cannot do CD-R's). Also I am having a thing with Procession lately.
There is no end to this I have seen your face But I don't recognize all these things You must have left behind

do you like the live version of procession...i have always liked the song myself but the live version has given me a fresh appreciation...except for barney's whoops :\ohwell:
I finally have it :D Disc one is good, I like the order of the tracks, haven't gotten into disc two that much, disc three is good (LOVE the Paradise remix), disc four is great, interesting to hear their evolution. It's really cool how all the tracks fade into one another, hard to shut it off after one track 
The bonus disc is great, never heard "Best & Marsh" before, pure Stephen/Gillian magic (w/ some Hooky help).
I do have to say "Thanks" to this website and all those who got the inside info on the best way to get this. Cheers!
live just shades it for me cos i love em live with club second. i ,like that lets go instrumental though, never heard it before and it tinkles along nicely. not keen on the lyrical one though. also glad its got temptation 82 on too...
Bonus disc for moi......just can't get enough (insert yer own Depish gags here:D ) of the 5th disc.....mainly fer Temptation 98 and Perfect Vid, other than that, I'm with Budvar, I cannae do CDR's either and FAN has been getting the most airplay. The Live stuff is a lot better quality than my bootlegs, so that's definitely a bonus
