Minus the superfluous album version edit of "Awfully Deep," you've got one new song, one live-studio reworking of the near title track with a little help from Gorillaz collaborator Damon Albarn, and a remix of each. The Albarn/Lampeth Blues version benefits greatly from the Blur kingpin's addition of a brooding piano as well as Rodney's more contemplative delivery. Joseph Mount's Metronomy remix of Damon's jam takes the cut back to an early eighties cheese-funk which kinda misses the point but Diplo's remix of the previously unreleased "Seat Yourself" recovers to a more appropriate sludgy bangin' vibe. All in all, it's a worthwhile companion to the full length of the not quite same name.

roots does it again. at first i was dissapointed that daman albarn of gorillaz & blur wasnt on a single track on awfully deep because roots was on the album demon days "all alone", but their wasnt really much guests but still its 1 of the best from 2005.
well this ep features daman albarn on piano featuring a whole new version with new lyrics for the lambeth blues & lambeth blues metronomy remix. the song is amazing & rivals the original, also a must have is seat yourself which should have been on the album but so should all these songs so just have to have both i guess, theirs also an amazing remix of the song. for a live version of those songs go to roots manuva.com theirs you can download the live forun show, absolutelly amazing, with a version of manuvadelic hendrix song.
