This review is from: Make the Deal Pt. 2 (Audio CD)

A newly remixed and overdubbed version of the album track "Make The Deal" bolsters the sound that the album mix lacked, this mix seems a lot more in the listeners face than the original version taken from the album "North Atlantic Drift". It still holds true to the string section and everything, the only changes are in the structure (the band have slightly shortened this version) and impact that the guitars have in the song.

"We Rise" is a folky song played solely on acoustic guitar with a wall of backing vocals in the chorus that works well, and for the simplicity of what it is it holds true with other Ocean Colour Scene acoustic classics like "Robin Hood". Full of optimism this song gels well with it's 2 other counterparts on this single.

Finally the last song "St. Cecilia" is a relaxed sounding band song, complete with hammond organ, drums, bass and acoustic guitar. The song flows over and around the listener almost soothingly like a lullaby and clocks in at 4 minutes long and not a minute of that time is wasted. This single was a huge return to package form of having quality b-sides as well as the a-side.
