I would defend 'Elysium' over 'Release'. 'Elysium' has a few tracks on it that I enjoy whereas 'Release' has literally none.

(not totally straight represses - the albums themselves, at least, have been lightly re-remastered. but Tennant says not to waste your money if you already own them, and as far as pisces' question, the song content will be the same.)

Release reminds me a bit of REM's Reveal album in that I enjoy a lot of the individual tracks but the album listened to from beginning to end is kind of soporific? I love E-Mail, The Samurai In Autumn, Love Is A Catastrophe and You Choose though, and there's lots of great tracks from that era that didn't end up on the album

Looks like Release doesn't include the Felix Da Housecat "London" remix/new-thing from Disco 3.

A big difference between Reveal and Release is that I can make it through Reveal from beginning to end.

The Further Listenings have never included remixes that aren't done by the PSB themselves.
