‘The DJ formerly known as Quentin’ has been rather quiet in recent times, with a series of compilations and live albums cleverly disguising the fact that he hasn’t released a proper album since 2004’s Palookaville.

Sadly, here’s another release to add to that ever-growing list of filler records. The Greatest Hits Remixed isn’t a bad album, but it is simply only for fans and collectors of Mr Cook’s work.

This isn’t because any of the mixes on this double album are awful; it’s just that you have to wonder what the point of it all is.

Putting this qualm to a side for a second, the record gets off to a great start. The Redanka mix of Right Here, Right Now is a bonafide floor-filler with a pounding groove enhancing the power of the original.

The Chemical Brothers’ take on Song for Shelter also hits all the right spots in their trademark style, while Junkie XL’s makeover of Weapon of Choice is also great fun. Elsewhere, Beastie Boys’ Mike D and Ad Rock remake Praise You with some distinctly quirky synths. New versions of The Joker, The Journey and Wonderful Night are also great listens.

However, it’s not all wine and roses. Darren Emerson’s mix of Sunset Bird of Prey is as uninspiring as the original, while a Manumission take on Love Island seems very, very pointless. Don’t even get me started on Jon Carter’s remix of Jin Go Lo Ba.

As mentioned earlier, while this record is a relatively cool listen at times, you have to wonder who is going to buy it. Those who love Fatboy Slim will probably already have (and love) the original takes on these tunes, so they probably won’t.

That only leaves people who don’t love the DJ’s work, and I reckon it’s a safe bet that they won’t shell out for this either.
