Review
The British duo Everything but the Girl (Ben Watt and ex-Marine Girl Tracey Thorn) have gone through two distinct phases in their career--they spent most of it as an acoustic, folky duo with some occasional lounge accompaniment, but after a Todd Terry remix of Amplified Heart's "Missing," they veered toward the dance floor. Best of tries to encapsulate all of that in 15 tracks, and while it brings together many of the essential songs--the remix of "Missing," "Apron Strings," "Rollercoaster," "I Don't Want To Talk About It," and even Thorn's guest vocal on Massive Attack's "Protection"--it also has a lot of holes. There are only 10 tracks from EBTG's entire nine album pre-remix career, and none that feature Watt as vocalist; also missing is Thorn's guest slot on the Style Council's "Paris Match" (from Café Bleu). As a slightly lopsided introduction to EBTG, this collection is fine, but you might do better buying a few albums instead (start with Amplified Heart, Acoustic, and Walking Wounded). --Randy Silver1996 compilation on Blanco Y Negro, featuring 15 of the duo's best, 1985-1996, including the hit remix versions of 'Missing' & 'Driving', plus Tracey Thorn's vocal offering onthe title track of Massive Attack's 1995 album 'Protection',and many of their finest '80s hits, including 'Apron Strings', To Talk About It', 'Each And Everyone', 'Love Is Strange', 'When All's Well' and 'Old Friends'. Everything but the Girl is Included in this 'Very Best Of' Collection. Includes Early Material Like 'Each and Every One' , 'Another Bridge', 'When All's Well', as Well as Songs from the Recent Past:1992's 'Driving' and the 1995 Hit 'Missing'.
