I'm not a big fan of remixes to be honest, but try to get an another RSD release for my collection.

I dunno, the fact it has a name like “Where The City” did makes me think it might be a remixes EP/album rather than just a single. Fingers crossed anyway. X I'd buy it immediately, City/Sky was great and so much better than Chasing Yesterday...

A lot of remixes are fucking amazing and take songs in imaginative and unexpected directions, which is why it staggers me that anyone who is supposedly passionate about music can get the chance of doing one and come up with the same "What if we loop the verse vocals over a dance beat for seven-and-a-half minutes?" nonsense for the fifth time that week. The Mexican remix is one of those that turned out amazing and better than the official song.

It looks like a departure from the WBTM style so maybe it will be new tracks?

WTF? This must be a joke. OMG is this BAD. It’s completely consistent with all the other WBTM artwork, what’s your beef? X

Made me burst out laughing. At least it put a smile on my face.

I like the artwork to be honest, I prefer it to the WBTM one. As for the remixes... disappointed but not surprised. And I'm not against remixes when they take the songs to new paths and transform them into something great. But as someone said most of NGHFB remixes are just verses looped and they sound stuck in the 80's. Very lazy move from Noel (as usual), I don't think it would be hard to release something more interesting, a demo and a live performance for example.

Ah Noel’s management, utter teases with that “new material at the live shows” tweet!
Not even a full EP, oh well.
I expect these to be decent remixes though, looking forward to hearing them.

That's fine. And I guess it won't be THAT limited. Noels last three RSD releases (Beautiful World Remixes, Mexicano Remixes, Heat Of The Moment Remixes) are quite cheap on discogs

I hope he'll also release it worldwide digitally. El Mexicano is not available outside UK.

I know Noel loves that 90s acid techno sound (and indeed, so do I), but the idea of a remix EP would excite me so much more if Noel brought in some more modern producers to rework songs off WBTM. Get in Four Tet, Nicolas Jaar, or DJ Koze to find the space and beauty between the lines of the songs, and we'd have something far more interesting and unexpected from Noel.

they picked 3 of the weakest songs to remix. I suppose that tells you something at least they're not touching TMWBTM (yet?)

Looks like this is a global release which is good news for USA fans.

This is limited to 2500 in the US. How that gets defined as "limited", I don't know. Especially in the US.
