Is it just me, or is the 1st track on this CD single "Home & Dry" (Ambient Mix) better than the original album mix? I LOVE it! It sounds like a MOBY song in the background (his mellow stuff). In fact it reminded me of an old B-side of the PSB, the Moby remix of the track "Miserablism" (hard to find, but worth it). Same thing - I hated the original (you can find it on the PSB album, Alternative) - but the Moby remix is cool, beutiful chill-out, with snippets of Neil's vocals wafting in & out.

Buy this for the 1st track - the Break 4 Love remixes are horrible.

This British import CD-single features the latest single from this fantastic duo. "Home and Dry" is an excellent pop song with sweet lyrics. You'll be humming it in the shower after a few listens. However, I think the real standout in this collection is "Sexy Northerner." I love the pulsating dance groove, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and wicked riffs from Johnny Marr. "Always" is a down-tempo song - not terribly interesting in my humble opinion. On the whole, this is a nice CD single for the compulsive Pet Shop Boys collector type, like myself.

This CD is the second of the two-part set for "Home and Dry," the first single off the PSB's new full-length CD, "Release." "Home and Dry" is a bit of an unusual single for the PSB, as it is a fairly straight-ahead love song. However, it is a teriffic song and quite beautiful. The ambient remix of "Home and Dry" is included here. It sounds great, but doesn't really stretch the original single much. It would have been great to have gotten some additional remixes of the song. Of course "Home and Dry" is more of a mid-tempo song, so doing disco-type remixes of it may not work well, but it still would have been great to hear some of them.

In addition, two versions of their recent #1 dance song, "Break 4 Love," are included. This song was recorded with Peter Rauhofer as "The Collaboration." The UK edit and a remix (Friburn & Urik Hi Pass Mix) are included. The song sounds great, but both versions were already available on the Break 4 Love CD set. Overall, a very good CD, but not up to the usually high standards of the PSB, who typically include a plethora of b-sides and remixes on their CD singles.
