Seriously it irks me when somebody gives a bad review to an album because they didn't carefully read or preview the song.
I discovered La Roux a few days ago and I have to say her music is stunning and nostalgic. Besides the strong vocals her music is vibrant synth-pop that carries many dimensions. I really hope to hear more from this artist, highly recommended if you enjoy reliving the 80s sound like I do.

Please note this CD has only 3 tracks on it. It is just the Quicksand Single CD.
Track 1 Original Quicksand track, found on the actual La Roux album as well.
Track 2 Remix of Quicksand- not found anywhere else
Track 3 Remix of In for the Kill (a must have) Also found in La Roux Gold Edition CD.
La Roux is a very special Duo that does not exist anywhere else. Truly unique and talented people, Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid created an amazing album that anyone can love and appreciate. They won a Grammy for best electronic album on their first CD! All their songs could be singles, have music videos, and be a hit on the radio. How many bands can you say that for?
Any fan of La Roux can appreciate this CD, and anyone interested in collecting all their CD's, should go ahead and buy it! What a great price!
All the tracks are enjoyable and worth buying. Thanks and I hope this helps!

la roux is the best thing that's happened to music recently. i'm so happy they made it on the radio too.
i just bought quicksand, and it's great. i love the song. i bought it mainly for collecting purposes, but it's a great cd. cheap too. i also have to throw in that elly jackson is one of the most beautiful girls in the world as well.
anyways, i'd recommend any of la roux cd's available. i have all of them, and their all just great.

This EP is amazing. La Roux is one of my new favorite artists. However after buying the album, I wish I hadn't spent the money on the EP because I got the same tracks, basically.

I heard one of La Roux's other songs, "Bulletproof", so I thought this would be good too, and it is. The original version of Quicksand is the best song on here (and I often prefer remixes), while the mix included isn't as good. It's decent, but there's parts where the melody sounds off-beat with the drums. Which sucks, because that's really the only flaw it has, and it's continued throughout the entire song. The mix would be much better if it wasn't for that. Finally, there's a mix of "In For The Kill", which puts an interesting, dark, and moody take on the song. It's interesting to listen to, but it's not as good as the original, in part because for a large chunk of the song there's no backbeat. Her voice just isn't strong enough to pull off the song without one.

I would recommend this EP if you've heard La Roux before and like them, or find it as cheap as I did (99 cents!). However, if you've never heard them before, it might take some time to grow on you.

I bought "In For The Kill" thinking it was the original. It is not.

It is the"In For The Kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey Remix)."

I'm disappointed.
