You make a lot of good points, but this is not one of them.
I'm fine with music progressing as time passes, but I personally feel that the progression should be in a positive direction. Quite frankly, the recent remixes of Underworld material strike me as lazily executed with little to no inspiration or innovation. That's not me wishing it was the nineties...that's me wishing I was hearing something even better than what's been done before.

They may be effective in a loud club, but a huge part of what always drew me to Underworld and the bulk of the remixes done of their work is that it lent itself to club play
as well as pure listening pleasure. To eliminate the pure listening pleasure aspect of it all eliminates what made Underworld stand apart in my opinion.
That being said, for me, Underworld's recent original output still maintains all of the goodness I've always loved. But the remixes suck butt.
