Although it doesn't offer any radically new interpretations, Flow Hyphenated Drop (Happy End of the World Remixes) is a thoroughly entertaining remix album. All of the cuts were originally on Pizzicato Five's 1997 album The Happy End of World, a typically stylish and enjoyable Pizzicato album, much like Flow Hyphenated Drop itself.
