Album artwork: Front Cover (big version) Inside Sleeve 08:24 Joh'Burg - Completely awesome song! Longer and stronger than the bootleg live version! 04:19 Il Se Noie [rerecorded version] - A wonderful version of the original but iit doesn't have the distorted vocals with the wild effects. The production is better along with the overall sound. Very romantic, sophisticated, and cool. All of the lyrics are in French ... I was enlightened by a true French man that it means, "He's drowning." 06:02 La Fête Triste [rerecorded version] - This is an beautiful version of the already beautiful instrumental. The light electronic percussion is delicate, mysterious and feels gaseous.... (you have to hear the song to understand). The melody is melancholic and bittersweet. It's graceful, sophisticated and very mature. In the last minute, the hard pounding electronic drums come in and take us to a place where the original version did not. Not only is the melody harder on the keyboard but the deep, hard beat is a perfect way to end this angelic instrumental. This is a studio version that is very similar to La Fete Triste on Raw Material. There's the sound of a crowd cheering in two parts of the beginning. It sounds like the live version.This is another TRISOMIE 21 classic! 07:28 Shift Away - Very cool song with a very long introduction. The beat is cool and the fill in sampled. The keyboard melody is addictive. It reminds me of the 80's and gives the time a romantic feel. An epic T21 song! 05:54 Jakarta - Longer and stronger than the instrumental version. This one actually has lyrics. They are hard to understand but they are still lyrics. 04:06 Ravishing Delight - A cool instrumental in two parts. The firrst part has this really cool whistling. Then, the second part has a cool beat with electronic melodies and effects. 05:05 Betrayed - I think this is the same version as the one on Works except that there is an intro which is around two minutes long which sounds nothing like the song. The beginning is cool, unexpected, and almost typical of T21. When it ends, it cuts immediately to Betrayed where Philippe starts sings. The other version has the beat go on for a couple of seconds. "Any strange (woman? feeling?) you'll find in love.. I can prevent your head to rotate... We spend reality watching...." It's is a cool song though very sad. 04:43 Another Move - This is another TRISOMIE 21 classic. This version and the live version of this song are glorious in all of the passion and energy. This time, the song begins with the deep, soulful melody of horns played on the keyboard. The beat comes in with the looping piano/keyboard/synth melody which begins the live version and the remix. Though Philippe lets the song play for a little while before he sings, he continues to sing throughout the song unlike the remix on the Works album. There is also the sample of a man saying passionately, "Try to protect a dream!". This is a classic industrial, gothic pop song by T21 which could of sold millions and millions of records if it was promoted as a single and not a b-side. "I'm moving by you... I'm moving by you... I'm moving by you.." Although he doesn't get as passionate as he does on the version on Raw Material, it is an superb version of a brilliant song. Another TRISOMIE 21 classic! 07:59 A New Outset - This is an amazing song! The beat kicks in and it automatically takes me on a drive into the mysterious evening. This song is a longer and (I think improvisational) version of The Missing Piece with completely different lyrics. The music is drawn out more and a majority of it is similar but they both can stand alone and be perfect songs. This song, however has not only a cool feeling but one of intense passion and hunger for love. Searching for something out there... The beat is hard like a more industrial New Order . The bass line is as addictive as Opium and the funky-disco guitar is like a cherry on top of your favorite birthday cake. This song is very danceable but is also a good driving song. the guitar becomes hard at times so it can also be a pop/rock song too! It masters all levels of music. Philippe's voice and vocals are especially on point: "I never felt the use to conform to the rules. I don't want to be alone. Take this (life? World?) for granted and then leave you worse off... then you were before... then you were before!... When it's taken away, you fall flat on your face... It's not a (worse? birth?) day..." The song is long and the journey is worth every second. I never want the song to end! I love it more than The Missing Piece. This is a true TRISOMIE 21 classic! 04:44 Bamboo - The same version as the one on T21 Plays The Pictures 06:11 Take The Shock Away (previously unreleased version) - Woman's moans sampled kicks this one off.. Then, Bruno's guitar starts the hook. The beat drops in along with the "Whoah whoah whoah".. Then, the song is longer than the other version.. "I drive by so fast. I can't close my eyes. Looking for the truth. Trying to explain why. Take the shock away, take the shock away...." |
