Chris Lord-Alge did a superb job remixing many of the Classics, and I'd rather hear that than songs hacked up "for radio", as if listeners could not stand more than 3:30 a song... CLA's GLORIOUS remixing of "Rooms on Fire", with all the magic and sparkle VS. the single edit, which bizarrely slices out the beautiful mandolin after the first chorus.

I worked in Gap in 2002 as well! I was there 2001-2006 and the cds were the same in the UK. I totally remember those terrible versions!
By the way, where can I get this remix of Rooms On Fire? Is it on
Other Side Of The Mirror?
