Rhino Records brings together a compilation featuring favorites selected from all three of the band's studio albums along with alternate mixes and rarities.

Taking 10 of its 13 tracks from the group's studio albums, the collection contains music from 1991's self-titled debut, 1996's follow-up, Raise The Pressure, and 2000's Twisted Tenderness. GET THE MESSAGE also features several remixes including the single version of "Get The Message," the Single Mix of "Disappointed," a song co-written by Tennant that appeared on the Songs From The Cool World Soundtrack as well as the radio edits for a pair of tracks from the group's most recent album. The compilation also includes the single-only "All That I Need" (the B-side of "For You,") and 1996's "Imitation Of Life," the B-side of "Forbidden City."

ps any fans of this anyways?

With members of The Smiths, New Order, Kraftwerk, Black Grape and the Pet Shop Boys involved, you'd think it would be the greatest band ever but sadly, they were just ok. Some of their songs approached the legendary status of their parent bands (I.E. Getting Away with it, Second Nature, Late at Night, Vivid) but most of their stuff was just sort of nice sounding background music.

I think I've always wanted to like Electronic more than I've actually liked them. They had some good songs, but you know...above all things here, I'm just not confident in what Rhino records can do. My advice is to go to the nearest record shop...you can buy up every record they released for about...well, less than $10...and on vinyl it'll sound better than any re-mastered CD release that Rhino can put out.

If Johnny Marr had re-mastered, re-produced it, I'd be a bit more interested.
