Mine would be

CD1 - GET THE MESSAGE:THE BEST OF ELECTRONIC

  1. Free will (12" version)
  2. Getting away with it (Extended)
  3. Get the message (Single mix)
  4. Some distant memory
  5. Feel every beat (7" mix)
  6. Tighten up (Single version)
  7. Disappointed
  8. Forbidden city
  9. Imitation of life
  10. A new religion
  11. For you (Single version)
  12. All that I need
  13. Vivid (Radio edit)
  14. Twisted tenderness
  15. Flicker
  16. Warning sign
  17. Late at night (Radio edit)

CD2 - Bonus Tracks

  1. Getting away with it (Live @ Wembley 1991)
  2. Feel every beat (Live @ Wembley 1991)
  3. Lucky bag (Miami edit)
  4. Idiot country two
  5. Get the message (DNA groove mix)
  6. Feel eveey beat (Tactile mix)
  7. Second to none
  8. Until the end of time (K-klass mix)
  9. I feel alright
  10. Second nature (Plastik mix)
  11. Turning point
  12. Make it happen (Darren Price mix)
  13. Radiation

...A DVD could make an entirely separated release -- or a 3 disc set perhaps? -- containing every promo, plus the alternate versions for Getting Away With It, Get The Message, Feel Every Beat and the promo for Late At Night, plus TV appearances (TOTP, Haze @ Jo Whiley, Out Of My League & Second Nature @ Later... etc.)

The official CD sleeve looks just fine IMHO, so no suggestions on it. :thumb:

I've only given the first album major play, only listened to the others once or twice, and never heard any b-sides, but here's my list

Getting Away With It Some Distant Memory Forbidden City Tighten Up Make It Happen Warning Sign Idiot Country Vivid Out Of My League EDIT: Try All You Want!

It's not a long list! but I think it shows off what Electronic did best without grating. Unfortunately a lot of what they did was too lightweight.

I was deeply saddened to see the pathetic best of electronic collection recently released.

here's what my best of would be, in no particular order, and of course it would have to be digitally remastered.

  1. Free Will
  2. Reality
  3. Try All You Want
  4. Getting Away With It
  5. Get the Message
  6. Dark Angel
  7. Until The End Of Time
  8. Idiot Country
  9. Idiot Country 2
  10. If you've got love

But man, if you want the best, you should try to pick up the black (not red) version of the first electronic album. It's digitally remastered and sounds so much better than the original. I had it, then it was stolen, and then I had to buy it again mail order. It's worth it. http://www.worldinmotion.net/electronic/discography/albums/1991/electronic.htm

Regards,

Daniel

How does the (black) remastered version sound better? Updated sounds, or cleaned up the recording?

Tracklist and track length is the same. it's just cleaner and brighter so you can hear more detail. If you have a decent stereo/speakers or good headphones, you can really tell a difference. For me, it was like a CD vs. a cassette. The cassette sounded great until I heard the CD. :-)
