corypa610 Played the Fast Japanese Spin Cycle EP the other day with my 9 year old son and he’s been asking for it and singing the tunes for days now. I know the feeling, little buddy! Saw this “new” release pop up and just had to get it. What a great era for GBV fans!

Sure, maybe my ears are ruined by the loudness wars, but it's hard to believe that this mix is the sound anyone was looking for. Every element sounds buried and distant to me, which is a shame since the songs are top-notch. Let's have a 13-month anniversary remix, eh? raeforr
