This is another compilation of songs (6 songs & 1 video for the title track)from previously UK only releases, made for Japan. The title track and 'Helicopter' can both be found on the album 'Silent Alarm'.
'Tulips' is moody and groovy with swirling guitars and a catchy drum beat. A great mid tempo love song with sincere vocals. This EP also contains a remix of this song as well.
'Storm & Stress' is a good upbeat pop song with catchy, angular guitar work that is somewhat of a trademark of this band.
'Skeleton' another good song that fits right in with the 'Silent Alarm' era material. Fast drum beats, dreamy and angular guitars, driving bass, and rapid-fire vocals.

For the amount of material here, this is kinda pricey but it is an import which are always more expensive. There are three very solid b-sides here: Storm and Stress, Skeleton, and Tulips. To get these songs by buying the singles they appear on may end up being more expensive than just buying this one EP.

This was elequantly delightful to listen to. While referring to my usual Sunday newspaper, I sat quietly and gleefully in my garden listening to Bloc Party - Little Thoughts EP on my iPod Nano (Registered Trademark). The roof rumbling drum rhythms, stomping bass and wall shattering guitar riffs blew me, my wife and daughter away, who are both devoted fans also.
Thank you Bloc Party for your Outstanding Contribution to Music - Brits (Registered Trademark), which you should have been nominated for, if not awarded.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Good Tide,
Charles Richards
