The review reflects on Ultravox’s recent EP featuring remixes and outtakes from their discography. It praises the new Blank + Jones reconstruction of "Love’s Great Adventure" as a significant improvement over the original 12" mix, infusing energy and vibrancy. In contrast, the remix of "All Stood Still" disappointed, losing the original’s urgency and vitality. The vocal production flaws were highlighted, overshadowing Midge Ure’s performance. Despite mixed feelings on the other tracks, especially an alternative take on "Hymn," the EP serves as a decent wrap-up before the upcoming "The Collection" ultrabox, although the reviewer is hesitant to dive deeper into that release.
