For a remix of your last album to gain more excitement than the original must be quite a difficult thing to take.

Maybe they’ll take note and make a better one next time as the original version of ‘Nite Versions’, ‘Any minute now’ stunk. Coming on like Nine Inch Nails for kids and throwing all sorts of noise in for the fun of it, the last thing it was though was fun.

So to this ten track remould of that album which begs the question – why didn’t it sound like this in the first place?

Kicking off with brilliant a crunching rock cover of Daft Punks ‘Teachers’, ‘Nite Versions’ covers all bases and sounds more like a recent 2 many djs set.

The remix of E-Talking continues the dirty rock and beats vibe whilst ‘Accidents and compliments goes for a more eerie electro-clash sound whilst the off-beat bass-lines of ‘Slowdance’ could easily be from a banging hard house track.

Best of all is ‘NY Lipps, a mash up of their ‘NY excuse’ track with Lipps Inc’s ‘Funky Town’, treading a thin line between brilliance and cheese, it excels in both.

Seeing as their 2 Many djs side project gets much more attention than their day job, they’ve realised that they may as well join em than trying to beat them and make which makes this album a much more satisfying prospect than the original.    7/10
