   This is a rather unnecessary 2-disc EP featuring remixes of Sour Times and Glory Box from Dummy. I say "unnecessary" because there are only 10 songs in the album, which could have easily fit on one disc. That plus the fact that it was imported from Canada made the price inordinately high, but it was worth it--especially for Theme From To Kill A Dead Man, the sole original track here. As for the rest, they're good and creative interpretations of the two featured songs; however, I've always preferred the original of Glory Box, and as for Sour Times, well ... you can't really do better than the live version found on PNYC, which none of these remixes resembles in any way.
