"Sunrise" remix- NOT worth it!

"I LOVE Duran Duran, but I wish I had my money back for this import single. "What Happens Tomorrow" is an incredible song, but I bought this for the Eric Prydz Mix of "Sunrise," hoping to finally hear a club mix that actually included the vocals. (The first batch of remixes found on the "Sunrise" single all neglected to include Simon's full vocals.) Disappointed again! The beat to this version is great, but it is only 3 & a half minutes long & features only a few background vocals at the beginning. I guess there will never be a full-out vocal club mix available on CD. The closest thing I know of is the Jason Nevins Mix on the "Queer Eye" soundtrack.
Bottom line: Someone needs to take lessons from bands like Erasure, who still put out singles with multiple remixes & non-album songs that are well worth the money. 13 bucks is just too much for an album version that I already have & a short, vocal-less club mix. Shame on Epic records & Duran Duran!"
About the Eric Prydz remix and the German release

"Following the review on the remix of "(Reach Up For The) Sunrise", there is a German edition of the cd-single "What Happens Tomorrow" (ASIN: B0006H2W4O) which includes all songs on both UK editions:
1. What Happens Tomorrow 4:06
2. Silent Icy River 2:54
3. What Happens Tomorrow (Harry Peat Mix) 4:05
4. (Reach Up For The) Sunrise (Eric Prydz Mix) 3:36.
Although the inside cover says the Eric Prydz Mix lasts 6:46, it is actually an edited version of the original remix. The full 6-minute version is only available on 12". The video is not on the German edition, but on the UK cd with 3 songs.
Spreading songs (edited and extended) and videos on several editions has become part of a new marketing strategy. With the development of cd-copying and file-sharing, some people in the music industry realized it was going to be hard to get back the lost customers. As a result, they decided to sell twice, three times, the same product to the people who have kept buying cds. Hence, the 2-cd UK editions and albums which are released several times with different songs."
