5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny for I Say I Say I Say-esque Piney Gir mix, May 11, 2005

Erasure's "I Say I Say I Say" album from 1994(that featured the smash hit "Always") is my 2nd favorite album ever. I would like to thank Piney Gir for remixing DSYLM into something that would have fit right on that magnificent album over 10 years ago.

"DSYLM-Piney Gir Mix" is a very powerful song and improves upon the original like no other. The backing choir voices and layered vocals reminds me of ISISIS's songs of the same fashion("So The Story Goes" and "Miracle").

However this, the 2nd of Erasure's singles from their heartfelt and romantic "Nightbird", is not as amazing as their first single release "Breathe".

The b-side "Lie To Me" is IMO their worst song from the Nightbird era. While "Breathe's" B-Sides were stellar(especially "Gone Crazy"). Not horrendous enough where I won't listen to it, just not up to par with the other "Nightbird" songs.

Likewise, the video for "DSYLM" isn't anywhere close as being as good as "Breathe's" dramatic and serious video. Instead the boys went for a cartoony outer-space video which I don't really think captures the essence of the song whatsoever. Cutting edge in technology but not something I have bothered to watch over and over and over again like I did with the "Breathe" vid.

The other remixes of "DSYLM" are pretty good too. The "Single Mix" sounds a lot like the original version but with a slightly different bass, more varied drum sounds and a bit faster song. While the "Radio Mix" adds in a lot of bass.
The "Mark Moore & Eon Vox Mix" has a really nice beat to it but the soulful vocals are lost in the process. "ATOC's mix" is the better of the two dance remixes IMO...really quirky, although that powerful synth almost ruins the song.

This is a definite pick-up for fans of Erasure and anyone who loves I Say I Say I Say for the Piney Gir Mix.

And for Mike: I LOVE EM ;)

nightbird is one of Erasure's best albums, but with this single they truly outdid themselves. It should definitely have hit Number One worldwide, people seem to have forgotten how incredible this duo still is. one of my favorite Erasure songs ever. I like the Mark Moore/Eon mix, tho it took me a while since it puts a harder edge on the song. The rest of the mixes are interesting, expecially the Piney gir mix, but it's worth it for the single and radio mixes and that mind-blowing video (they finally got a good one!)
