Macabre was so sick with hit-worthy songs that it generated this equally vicious remix set. Although most mixes minimize the band's New Wave essence, Ursula 1000 slashes "Your Retro Career Melted" with Gang of Four-like guitars, while Tommie Sunshine's reinterpretation of "Let the Poison Spill From Your Throat" pounds out delightfully stiff New Order rhythms -- and all mercifully retain the original melodies. Against all odds, this is what a remix album should be.
