Finally!!

I've been looking everywhere trying to get all of the smash hit albums from EMF. Their string of non stop hits like "Unbelievable" and some other songs that are really good are the soundtrack for the early 90s. I can't believe they finally took the endless catalouge of EMF singles and put them on one disc. I heard "Unbelievable" in 91 and though to myself, "Now that is a band with staying power. I bet they put out lots of albums and hit the chart over and over because that song totally doesn't sound like a one hit wonder." As always, I was right. Obviously that put out a bunch more hit songs that I can't name right off the top of my head. They wouldn't have a greatest hits if there weren't at least 2 great songs by this band. If you're the die hard EMF fan I am your prayers have been answered.

Missing a lot, Adds a little

Here we have a greatest hits CD that includes 2 cover songs, a couple non-singles, in lieu of other key tracks by the band (Afro King, Bleeding You Dry, other classics...). The only benefit are the 2 new tracks, which are above average but not quite prime EMF, and the extra remix CD, which again misses key remixes in favor of big names (Dust Brothers, Butch Vig, etc.)

The inside text is almost apologetic about the band's rise and fall from fame and does little to take you inside the band. Reason would dictate that if you bought the CD and are reading the booklet, you like that band and would like to know more.

A more comprehensive collection of the band's material is the Japanese Best of, and the more comprehensive remix collection would be the Japanese Remixes and Collaberations. Why Japan gets all the good merchandise I could not say.
