This album is uniformly charming - warm, friendly, melodic and with spacious production. It brings to mind the warm summers of the 70s, radio 2 playing in the background and time stretching out into the distance.
If that feels bittersweet in 2012, several of the tracks here push the melancholy electronica for all it's worth. The single 'Sad', in particular, is stunning - an instant classic. 'Foreign Fields' has the same vibe (and reminds me of a basslined, synthesized 'Drive' by The Cars) with haunting backing vocals and beautiful lyrics. Elsewhere (eg 'Good Morning To The Night', 'Karmatron', 'Phoenix') things get a little more upbeat but with some prog-rock touches.
If I didn't know beforehand that each song is a cut-and-shut of several Elton tracks I would never have guessed it. Pnau have achieved something so worthwhile with this album; far more than a remix project, this really is a work of art.

From a big Elton fan I was dubious about the release...
I cant stand it when there are remixes which are just a total rehash, and nothing 'new' has been added to them. Well, this isn't what you get here. Added value, a different twist, thoughtful mixing and some super smoooooth tunes. Some tracks are faster, with some a slower tempo...not all 'dancey'. None the less, the album has a great feel and a varied mix of tunes to give balance. Stand outs for me are 'Phoenix" (favourite) and 'Sad'......download this now !

Simply put....What a breath of fresh Air and very creative sampling. Remoids me of the first Air CD and Dario G with a little Groove Armada and William Orbit thrown in.
A great summer disc to keep on repeat. Sorry I don't use an ipod or MP3's. I like my CD's and my 5 disc changer, thank you very much.
Cheers!!!!

Excellent album
I didn't think it could be possible but this album is amazing!
The remixes/mashups of Elton John's tracks are just brilliant.
You have to give it a listen.

Pnau or PSB?
Interesting take on Elton's music, sounds a bit like the Pet Shop Boys messing about in a studio type of thing!
