Search - Two Banks of Four :: City Watching (+1 Bonus Track)

Good CD, but get the U.S. release version!

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Japanese version actually has two bonus tracks, but they're both remixes of "Street Lullaby." In the 1st one, the "2 Banks of 4 Remix", the instrumental portion of the track is more prominent. You get a really full sound. I prefer this one to the regular album version.The other one is the experimental (?) "Fourtet remix". It sounds like they've chopped each individual lyric into pieces and looped the fragments randomly over a programmed drum beat, with some keyboard loops in the background.These bonus tracks are interesting as just that - bonuses. They're not worth paying the import price though, which is why I gave this excellent album only 3 stars."
