Gus Gus Album: “Standard Stuff for Drama”

I was quite pleased to discover that Gus Gus had released something else in da U.S. of A. I bought Standard Stuff for Drama and listened to it. The first track I'd heard millions of times before, good ol' "Polyesterday." Then it gave me a cheap dance mix of "Barry," and other cheap dance mix of "Gun." Both of them are cheap 'cause they both sound THE SAME!!! Next was the RADIO EDIT of Believe (16B mix)!!! WHAT???!!! The radio edit sucks. I much prefer the full version ( which you can find on the limited edition of Polydistortion, of which only 2000 were made), not some stupid radio edit. The Underdog remix of "Believe" is very nice, especially when it stops the beat in the middle and then slowly starts it again. "Polymovie" is well worth the price of the cd, even though it's yet another remix of "Polyesterday." It works very well, and it's da bomb.

This is ok, it's still better than Polyesterday Pt. 2.

Polymovie is the mix used on the video, and really great. Mixes WONDERFULLY into OR out of "Polybackwards" (the hidden track on Polydistortion). Other than that, the only track that's really worthwhile is the 16B remix of Believe, which is a quick edit from Believe Pt. 2, which is is a better buy.

The other 3 remixes are just so-so... "Barry" and "Gun" being pretty annoying at times, at that.

Good to add to the GusGus collection. But if you're not too familiar with them, this is NOT the one to start out with.

all of these remixes are good. if you like gus gus, you must have this to complete your collection, and considering the fact that they only have two albums so far, that should not be a problem.
