A friend sent this to me:

I'm listening to it right now, and so far, so good. Generally I wouldn't care for a "contemporary" remix of a new wave classic, but this one works quite well. Much more electronic than the original. Not sure if this is a "legit" release.

There are a couple of different B-52s remix EPs from the remix team of Manhattan Clique. There is one for Wild Planet and Mesopotamia. These are not bootlegs, but official mixes they've also done a cool Soft Cell remix of Torch for their new remix album. Here's a link...

I picked up the vinyl and was also surprised/impressed. They did a good job. I ordered the CD editions of all three (!) remix sets and will report back if anyone's interested. Hoping they'll be here within the week.

I thought they were oop. Or did you buy used?

CDUniverse had all three, ironically. Two of three have arrived (waiting on Mesopotamia, which is my favorite B-52s track, btw). They need a little more listening to, but I'm enjoying them so far. They weren't cheap -- about $20 each.
