In a market saturated by mix albums of every description, Ultra Records' Back to Mine series glows like a beacon in a fog of mediocrity. The idea is simple: artists are given a free rein to compile sets that are both intuitive and personal to their tastes, resulting in mixtures of postclub textures chiefly designed for horizontal dancing and chilled-out bonhomie. Latest recruits Everything but the Girl take to the format like ducks to water, displaying a musical pedigree that touches on house, hip-hop, and light drum & bass. Although most people have warmed to the group's shift into dance culture, what will surprise is their sublime choice of tune. Kicking off with the drum-machine jazz of DJ Cam's "Friends and Enemies," the moody hip-hop noir of Deadly Avenger's "Bayou," and their own production on Beth Orton's "Stars All Seem to Weep," the mood is stoner-paced but never drab. Follow this with a little stripped-back ambience courtesy of Carl Craig and a rousingly sanguine finale featuring Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free," and you have the makings of a fine night in. --Paul Tierney

Every year I have an album that I make a mental note as my favorite of the year. This was my favorite in 2001. I found this compilation to be perfect for long drives, as it seems to flow effortlessly from one track to another.

this series Back to Mine are an excellent way to showcase chill-out music. Without a doubt "Everything but the Girl" selection is my favorite album of this series. You won't regret having it in your music collection

The Back to Mine series is designed to allows artists to create a mix that mirrors what they would play at home after a night out. Artists like Danny Tenaglia, Pet Shop Boys, and Groove Armada have all contributed mixes which vary widely in style, source music, and vibe. Everything But The Girl were tapped to bring their unique personal style to this series.
Everything But The Girl's BTM mix is laid back, creatively structured album that churns along at midtempo with a solid beat throughout. ... Read More

I have listened to this hundreds of times and will still play it again. This compilation made me a faithful buyer of Back to Mine series (although some of the series collection is poor!) Ben Watt creates best vibes for a pre or after party.

I was staying at a hotel in NYC a few years ago and this CD was in the player when I arrived. I instantly fell in love with it. Everything But the Girl has picked amazing songs that really get you relaxed and invigorated at the same time. The Donny Hathaway song "Someday We'll All Be Free" is a fantastic capper to an already amazing album. I highly reccomend this CD.
