I'm a fan of 242 and scanned through this disc at the local shop. Most of the remixes are already released on their singles and remix EPs, but it also includes 2(?) new Orb mixes and a mix and dub of "Happiness" by Underworld. I think Underworld is great, but the mix was merely a competent and predictable Underworld-style track with some basis in the original 242 track. I decided to pass on it, but if you a) already have a few of Front 242's real albums, b) don't have any of the singles, and c) prefer a techno/ambient sound vs. the usual 242 sound -- then it might be worth checking into.
