For example, I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing (Beatmaster mix)

Here (PSB new extended mix)
those plus "I don't wanna" (David Jackson remix one) 8)
A blues would be in B flat, pain defining wisdom,

Definately It's Alright (10" version)

For the rest the originals are pretty good too. There are some other remixes which I prefer over the already great 7" or album version (as I am a 12" fan) but the 10" version of It' Alright is the only version of this song I can actually listen to and enjoy.

We all feel better in the dark (after hours climax)
Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.

I’m not sure I’ve ever gotten to the end of Disco 2 so I’m not sure I even knew this gem was there! The ONLY PSB album I never play.
If I thought what you’d think I wouldn’t even be here.

I'm usually not fond of remixes, but the Moby remix of Miserablism is something special. As a Moby track, not a PSB track. And the PSB Remix of Hello Spaceboy remains one of my favourite tracks.
