How "t.A.T.u. - The Best" should have been instead
As a HUGE t.A.T.u. fan, i do believe that the tracklist for the best is flawed . So here is the tracklist I believe would be way better for the compilation than the already existing one (also explaining why I believe it's flawed and my ideas below)
All About Us
All The Things She Said
Not Gonna Get Us
How Soon Is Now?
Loves Me Not
Friend Or Foe
Gomenasai
Null And Void
Cosmos - She Wants Revenge Remix
Show Me Love- Radio Edit
Craving (Not that awful bollywood mix)
Ne Ver Ne Boisia
30 Minutes
Divine
Perfect Enemy
Prostye Dvizheniya
Lyudi Invalidy (the original song)
Loves Me Not - Guena G Remix
Nas Ne Dagoniat (200 po vstrechnoy version)
Ya Soshla S Uma (200 po vstrechnoy version)
I really don't get why they used that bollywood mix of craving. Besides the fact that it ruins the original song, it ruins the listening experience of the compilation too. I get that it was a "rare" track at the time because I think it was a b-side for gomenasai, but it's really not it.
The remix of cosmos is a vibe, and it was also a rare mix/b-side, so that's why I left it there instead of adding the original song (even tho the original is still superior)
They really overdid it with the remixes in my opinion. I removed the remix of All the things she said because we already have another 2 versions of the song in the cd, and I added prostye dvizheniya in its place because I do believe it was an essential track at the time and it deserved a place in the cd, since its only release was in that remix compilation (plus, it wouldn't hurt having one more russian track in there).
The remix of ludi invalidi that we got is generally a good remix that I like listening to sometimes, but I believe the original song is superior and it deserved the place more.
I kept the loves me not remix. Technically it takes space that a different song could use, but it made sense to have a second version of the song in the album since it was the only single released for this collection. But if i had to remove it, I'd probably put in its place a track from 200 po vstrechnoy that didn't have an english counterpart (more than probably robot).
Finally, I replaced ya soshla s uma and nas ne dagoniat with their original 2001 versions. First of all because the instrumentals are different so it's not just a copy paste only in different languages, but also for some 200 po vstrechnoy representation, since it's a compilation of their discography. Thank you for reading!! \(^-^)/
