This is the second single for this particular song, this being the limited version with extra tracks. Many of the remixes aren't quite as good as I hoped, a bit too many bad disco versions. Track 1 is very close (identical?) to the original version, and hence very good. Track 3 is quite ok, but 4 and 5 are too boring, standard disco adaptations. Whoever thought up the bright idea to let dj:s remix S.P.O.C.K, eh? The last track, however, is a very slow and spacey remix with different sounds and quite far from the original. It kind of reminds me of the Underland remix on a Page single. I wonder why...

Track two is a very funny and truly excellent 'unplugged' version of a track off Five Year Mission. The intrumentation and even the arrangement (acoustic guitar and piano) reminds me a lot of an 'unplugged' version of a Depeche Mode song, namely Love, In Itself. All the usual spacey S.P.O.C.K effects are in this version done 'unplugged' as well: Eddie and new crew member Asteroid whistles, blips and boings vocally. Hilarious! :-D
