i said id comment on the tracks last week but i forgot. so here
goes:
"roberta jean machine" is some absolutely brillaint business. far
and away the best new joint. it has these really immense strings
with a shuffly almost latin sounding beat and vocals from roberta
sweed. not a full vocal kinda thing, but very sweet.
"mahogani 9000" (i think, this record is labeled kinda funky) is a
fast minimal techno tune, sort of in the vein of "on my way home"
from "silence in the secret garden". again, a very nice tune.
"holiday" is a sort of abstract downtempo kind of number. very
strage, actually.
some of the other "new" titles are a little weird, like "i need
you so much" is basically a downtempo into jazz piece
to "runaway". its one big long track. "riley's song" appears to be
a noise intro to the "back at bakers".
"im doing fine" has a slightly different arrangement, with some
female sounding backup vocals. "shades of jae" sounds like the
original mix, though i havent compared them side by side. i dont
have the original mix of "black mahogani" to compare to the
version on this either.
