If you're into the Fripp/Sylvian release (which I am) the EP is pretty
worthwhile, though it doesn't add a great deal to what is already on the
album. The Grid mix adds a kind of eerie ambience to the introduction,
with Sylvian's voice extricated as an overlay, but then breaks quickly to
a funky rendition of the tune that somehow doesn't sounds like a
Fripp/Sylvian record anymore. This is alright, but it's not the side I
listen to that often. The FSOL remix is my preference, which extends the
introduction and exit of the record with a more swirly/drifty sound that
adds a kind of grandiose sweep to the tune, while still sounding like
Fripp and Sylvian.
