This EP comes from the song Utopia off of Goldfrapp's debut album Felt Mountain and is pretty much what an EP is supposed to be with the original single, a variety of remixes for the title track, a B-Side, a live version of another song, and an alternate version. The remixes are mostly junk. Just boring techno remixes of the title track with the exception of Daniel Miller's Sunroof Mix which I think is actually a nice remix that doesn't sound all that different from the original but at least it's not the generic oontz. However, this album is completely worth it for the reworking of the Olivia Newton-John song Physical, the live version of Human, the alternate version of Human done by members of Calexico, and of course the title track Utopia. Favorite Tracks: Utopia (Genetically Enriched), U.K. Girls (Physical), Human (Live Version), Human (Calexico Vocal), and Utopia (Sunroof Mix).
