One of their greatest tracks ever, "Did You See Me Coming" has just topped the USA Billboard Dance Chart. Congratulations are in order. The second track on this CD single, "After The Event" is pleasant enough.

Love it and well worth getting Part 2 also.
Always look forward to their singles because of bonus tracks not always on there albums.

For me the digital bundle (6 tracks) is a fantastic bargain and highly enjoyable.

The two featured remixes of "Did You See Me Coming" are both significantly different from each and the album version. One is quite reminiscent of listening to an 8-bit video game soundtrack ... I wouldn't say it is for everyone, but I have certainly enjoyed it. The PSB Possibly More remix is a work of art - a classic, lengthy, building remix on one hand, but offers more lyrics and melodies than the original song. It does remind me of some of their older material ... Neil's added lyrics are mostly more of a conversational style (as in Left To My Own Devices) ... anyway, I cannot imagine that the dedicated PSB fan will not love this mix.

There is also a nice remix of "The Way it Used To Be" ... it is more of a typical "dancy" type remix, and is a nice addition to this bundle.

And then there are the 3 new songs ... "After the Event" is a wonderful track, and would certainly have been worthy of inclusion on the "Yes" CD. "Up and Down" is also a nice catchy tune - highly enjoyable classic PSB material. Then there is "The Former Enfant Terrible", which I believe is a remixed version. The song is definitely on the experimental sign, but has some incredibly complex bass lines and rythms that are seem to constantly "evolve" - while it may not rank high on your play-list, I think is a worthy muscial exercise that I personally appreciate and enjoy.

To sum it up, you are getting some great (and new!) tracks with this bundle - I HIGHLY recommend it, especially for the < $5 download price. Download and start dancing - enjoy!
