With this 5 track cd single you get (of course) "Music:Response", the best track from Surrender. You get the Brothers messing around on their drum machines with "Freak of the Week," a strong b-side that's better than many tracks on Surrender. Have you noticed how their bonus tracks tend to be the banging numbers they were known for? Next up is "Enjoyed," probably an early version of "Out of Control," but superior thanks to reverbed sitars and a lack of Sumner vocals. It ends with two remixes of "Music:Response," the Gentleman Thief mix, and Futureshock main response. The Thief mix is receiving a lot of press, thanks to the southern/latin spin (very similar to Crystal Method's "Comin' Back- the Light's southern grits mix.)." But it's the progressive mix by Futureshock that works better, even if it is a fairly obvious attempt.
The original, two quality bonus tracks, two good remixes...this is how you release a CD single. You can't go wrong with this.
