Collecting B-sides and remixes from Ladytron's debut, 604: Remixed & Rare features no less than seven versions of the album's biggest hit, "Playgirl," ranging from Felix da Housecat's chic reworking to Simian's sea shanty-like interpretation. The rest of the collection swings between stylish and off-kilter, with each approach delivering about the same amount of hits and misses. Highlights include Bertrand Burgalat's "He Took Her to a Movie" remix, which adds an extra dose of seedy glamour to the proceedings, and "Holiday 601," which became the Light & Magic track "NuHorizons."
