Actually I have neither, so I guess I'll just wait and find out...

His remix of "Phat Planet" by Leftfield was exactly what was needed
though. It sounded very similar to the Leftfield version but added an
extra level of nastiness that gave it a new age, and of course gave it
things like a mix-in to make it more club friendly.

Maybe we'll be surprised. I'll give it a listen, at least.

I remain suspicious that at least one other artist has called an album
"Outrospective".

I know it happens quite a lot, but the reason I'm surprised is that they
don't seem to be hyping it up all that much. As far as I'm aware there
hasn't been much promotion or pushing of Faithless recently at all- the
album looks like it's just going to jump out and surprise people.
