Edited 18 years agoThis release is only valuable for the David Morales Classic Mix of Hyper-ballad, since all other mixes are found on CD 1 of the maxi-single released by One Little Indian (the latter even contains other mixes unavailable on this release). What makes it frustrating, however, is that not only is Morales' mix unavailable elsewhere on Björk's official cd releases, David Morales actually hits the sweet spot with his uplifting mix. He enlivens the ever-popular toon with house beats, new basslines, vocal overdubs, conga drums, and his trademark blissful piano riffs. Indeed, it is such a classic mix (for 1996 and beyond) that fans of Morales and Björk must at least have a listen, if not wrangle to own, the rare mix.
