- The Blame Game

EBTG are seriously sticking to their underground club sound with the release of "Blame." In addition to the album version, there are three other mixes by J. Majik, Grooverider and Fabian. The Majik remix is dark and brooding with barely discernable processed vocals looped over undulating beats. Grooverider's dub mix is very jazzy, still quite underground. Fabian's upbeat drum n bass waxes jazzy too, but is less morose than the other mixes. This release is definitely more of a European release and is not on par with American tastes. EBTG are releasing the title track, "Temperamental," as the next US single with remixes by such US House favorites as Hex Hector and Ralphi Rosario.

- Everything But The Girl - Blame

Who's to blame for BLAME? Everything But the Girl, of course, and on this single, there's no end of fingers to point. J Majik, who also produced the moody original, takes a harder stance with his "VIP Mix," cutting up and filtering the vocals. Grooverider takes the horn from the original and lets it coast over the top in his thumping mix. But Fabio's mix really shines here, at turns atmospheric and melancholy. There's certainly enough blame here to go around.
