Comments

This EP (you may note it's actually longer than some albums) contains three non-album tracks, two remixes and two live version. There is also a CD-ROM track containing music videos and a clip from a TV show in Quicktime format (hence the ugly great PG rating sticker on the cover). The TV show clip didn't play well for some reason.

The non-album tracks are pretty decent, my favourite being "This Music is Good for the Species" (dig that guitar). The "a.m. e.m." remix is particularly clever in the way it interlaces the two verses of the song, but both remixes are excellent. The live version of "Species II" is, interestingly, a significant variation from the album version and features a different opening.
