...completely different experiences, with the Nite Versions' dance tracks being virtually unrecognizable from their originals. The thing is, I wish they weren't. The original E-talking was a triumph of dance rock; a club classic in its own right, its inclusion on this album is unnecessary: it's a short, tepid teaser, devoid of the killer riff of the original and is swiftly mixed into the next track.

Album Notes: Belgian techno/rock hybridists Soulwax have won wide acclaim for their hard-hitting, club-friendly style of dance punk. NITE VERSION presents re-cooked and reinterpreted versions of tracks that originally appeared on their album ANY MINUTE NOW. The collection is a high-energy mix of guitar riffs and samples; creatively borrowing from just about everything, including the disco group Lipps Inc. and early rave anthems. A rambunctious journey through clubland delirium, NITE VERSIONS has its 133 BPM pulse firmly planted in dance music's past and future.
Album Reviews: Spin (p.91) - "Soulwax drop any pretense of that silly rock stuff and get right to jacking your body." -- Grade: B+
