A good idea but not worthy of an official release. The Plan posted un mixed versions of their tracks for fans to download and create remixes - if these had been combined with remixes by professional dj's then it might have been a worthy document. There have only been a couple of remixes that have actually ever made me enjoy them as much as the source material (fila brazilia's and zero 7's takes on a couple of Radiohead tracks are good examples), but only 3 or 4 tracks really go anywhere interesting on this disc - and they don't stay long enough. Ideally these would have been posted on the band's site for free, along with all the others that didn't make the cut.
