What needs to be said? All the versions of "Chinese Burn" are exceptional...haunting sometimes, but overall is a great track in any and all of its incarnations. The other two tracks are also very good, and they help make this EP worth the money.

This EP is excellent... 2 new songs are on here, including "Robbing Charity," which somehow missed out being on "Come Clean". The remixes of "Chinese Burn" are supurb if a bit repeditive... in my opinion tracks 2 & 3 are the best.

I love the COME CLEAN version of 'Chinese Burn' so much I thought I'd enjoy this remix ep, too. Unfortunately, none of the various remixes of 'Chinese Burn' are quite as brilliant as the Steve Osbourne-mixed album version (track 6 on this ep. Track 1 is mislabeled as the album version). And the 2 "bonus tracks" at the end are bottom-of-the-barrel Curve throwaways.

The album version of this song is truly amazing. Nice beat, awesome vocals, funky lyrics... I also really liked the Lunatic Calm Remix. The only reason I took off a star was because some of the other remixes didn't sound all that great, but I recommend this album anyway.

I am something of a techno fan.. which is to say I hear the music and like it, but don't go out of my way to buy it. Track 2 on this EP is quite simply one of the most incredibly cohesive and complicated pieces of art (yes, art) I have ever heard. There are at points something greater than 10 elements being weaved all at once. This EP has single handedly made me into a die-hard techno fan. You will not be disappointed with any of the tracks on this EP, but especially track 2. Definitely a great cornerstone for anyone starting their techno collection.

Witchman and Lunatic Calm's remixes alone make this well worth the investment. Such rich texture and aggressive techno are unfortunately still very rare indeed.

A truly great package. 'Chinese Burn' is a brilliant song which deserves this sumptuous release full of remixes and two bonus tracks.

Of the mixes the picks are Headcase's mix, Headcase is Dean's solo work, and Steve Osborne's full length mix. But all are great mixes in truth.

'Come Clean' from the album is featured here along with the pounding 'Robbing Charity' which is not featured anywhere else.

What else needs to be said about this EP!? The lyrics are provicative and the music is full of energy. All the different mixes are absolutely invigorating and just make you want to get up and dance. A great selection of mixes of an already excellent track.

This is such a wonderful CD. I actually first heard chinese burn on an episode of buffy the vampire slayer and went looking for the single here. I LOVE all the versions of chinese burn, i could listen to them over and over. However, the "bonus" songs are not my cup of tea. They are boring. But that dosent detract from my love of chinese burn.

get it, got it? good. It's brilliant it can be hard, soft, seductive, and mellow all at once :)
