Specially Packed EP with Mixes from Former Thunderpuss Chris Cox, Passengerz, Dave Hernandez and Sean Konnery. Album Details

Non traditional music

Most of this musich is a non traditional Michele Branch CD. I ordered it for my wife and she did not like it at all. I am a drummer and the more I listen to it the more I like it, but that is not why i ordered it. July 1, 2006

Great pop song with excellent club remixes

I was surprised to see Michelle Branch release a Maxi single with club remixes on cos she doesn't seem to be the kind of artist who would usually do that but it's really cool that she tries new stuff and reaches out to other people than the segment of fans who already love her music. There's a little bit of something for everyone on this Maxi and here's a rundown on the different versions.

1. Album Version (03:31) - The original of this song which can be heard on the album "Hotel Paper" and in the video.

2. The Passengerz Tuff Club (08:01) - These guys give the song a deep club feel with a pounding beat and almost hypnotic vocal effects. The bassline is awesome and I can see this remix do well on the dancefloor in a nightclub.

3. Chris Cox Penetrating Club Mix (08:53) - This is perhaps the most popular remix of this song and also one of Chris' most successful remixes after he and Barry Harris went seperate ways after their success as the remix duo Thunderpuss. Chris stays true to the old TP sound in this remix while adding elements of rock into it at the same time and the result is truly brilliant! It fits the song perfectly and the breakdown is really gorgeous with a great following build-up. My favorite remix and it really is the stand-out track on this CD Maxi.

4. Sean Konnery Resportator Club Mix (06:56) - This remix is really weird. The beats remind me a bit of Club 69's remix of Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters" but I find the other elements of the remix kinda freaky. The chorus is okay though.

5. Dave Hernandez Club Mix (07:22) - This is house with a disco twist to it and a few pianos added in for good measure. The vocals are slightly offbeat in the first verse and they're placed really weird all throughout, totally different from the song's original structure. Still, this remix is much better than Sean Konnery's somewhat strange effort.

6. High Bias Radio Mix (03:35) - A nice dance remix that stays true to the original. The vocals seem re-sung for this remix and it's cool to hear Michelle actually singing on a dance track. The vocals are a bit stronger in the original, but still a great remix.

7. The Passengerz Tuff Radio (03:56) - A shorter version of the slamming club mix perfect for radio play.

8. Sean Konnery Resportator Radio Edit (04:11) - For me the club mix of this was more than enough so a second go at it kinda makes my ears bleed. Only good thing about it is that it's shorter.

This is a great single if you're a Michelle Branch fan cos in addition to a great song you get five remixers who each give it their own touch and the result is a wicked Maxi single that is truly worth having in your record collection. April 22, 2004
