Yes, another single without any new dEUS song ... As Klaas told me earlier this year, they've had no time for recording anything since they recorded their new album.

So what's special about these versions ?
- the "extended radio edit" of The Ideal Crash is a very different mix, not unpleasant at all, though it surprised me at first listen (the famous Phil Vinall mix, which Tom described as "crap" in an interview with French mag Rock & Folk in August 99)
- the remix of Everybody's Weird is not the best remix I've heard, and voice effects used on Tom's voice don't fit my taste much ...
- during the live version of Instant Street, Tom sings the censored version, that is with "mother rose blow" instead of "motherfucking blow" - because playing on the BBC makes him more polite ?
- Put The Freaks is a rather normal live version

 

 

French limited edition

The version sold in France comes in a thin cardboard sleeve and there's a rather ugly "édition limitée" printed on the cover.
