If you need to ask "why" don't bother commenting whatawasteofspace. A brilliant new album from one of the most influential bands of the last 20 years to be remixed by a host of diverse acts. Can't wait.

I've heard 3 of them already, two of which will be on the EP on Monday and they're really good.Especially the one of 'Me And Stephen Hawking'.

The Manics defy the natural laws of rock music.....you either love them or hate them but you cannot deny that they have bollocks and aren't afraid to take risks.

Personally I feel doing this ruins the impact of the album. This was meant to be an album using Richey's lyrics and worked nicely as a final send off to Richey but by cashing in on his lyrics by releasing a remix version is just bad taste in my opinion.

I ask why for exactly the reason's you state. It is a brilliant new album by one of the most influential bands of the last 20 years. EXACTLY, you fool! so why do it when it doesn't need to be done!
