Art of the 3 / Various

Sure, this is released on the ZTT label, but on Volume 3, the tracks include artists who were not on that label back in the 80s. Sure there's a couple of Frankie songs, and Art of Noise, and even (especially Nasty Rox, Inc. But my favorite band that nobody ever heard of - The Electric Guitars - also shows up with a great remix version of "Language Problems", produced by Martin Rushent (see also Human League). The whole package is stitched together with bits and pieces of TV intros and theme songs, which to be honest are more relevant to UK audiences, but this theme is also represented by using video mixes of some tracks.The music really gets rolling with Sigue Sigue Sputnik's "Love Missile F1-11" and throughout the two discs, you get to hear some of the best 12" mixes of the time, many never before on CD, and some unreleased until now.

Would Buy From Again A#1 first Kind!

EXELLENT

Although this is Ztt its got loads of 12'' remixes by artists who were never signed to Ztt but were produced or connected somehow too Ztt to make this great Album like ABC 12 inch mixes of the look of love all 12 and half minutes of it! and Belle Stars Sign of the Times, but then you have the Ztt heavy weights like FGTH and The Art of Noise and my personal Favourite of Complete Machinery which is a massive 19 minutes long.

I once was a fan of ZTT but recently got very bored with the whole pretentiousness of it all and it's all on show here. This is like someone flicking through the tv or and radio. I just get the feeling everyone involved is full of them selves and the whole album as like the 2nd has the same artists on it, including again Frankie Goes To Hollywood, who I am not a fan of. There are ocational jems in there but it's like trying to a eat a nice meal while someone throws dirt at your face as you eat. Bring on the paracetamol i have a headache

Do I really need this? Listened to it once, fleshed out with previously available material, some claiming not to be, but I'm sure I've heard it before. Same old liner notes, for completists really. Still no 'Video Destructo Mix' of Two Tribes. It would be nice, and would rather have The Tube/Network 7 programmes on DVD.

ZTT at its best

As a lover of all things ZTT this compilation did not disappoint. I have most of the tracks but as ever theres always a few new ones from the vaults that i haven't got.Looking forward to volume 4 !
