4.0 out of 5 stars A very good single, October 24, 2002

The CD single consists of 4 songs and the "Six Days" video. Three of the songs are "Six Days" remixes: a radio edit, a full length album version instrumental, and a remix featuring new vocals and music. The latter of the three consists of the woman's voice from the song, with the music from The Private Press' "Walkie Talkie", and added lyrics from rapper Mos Def (I believe). Neither of these three remixes are groundbreaking, but the instrumental is very nice. "100 Metre" is a very cool song that is worth the price of the single. It has a dark tone (like a lot of DJ Shadow's work) that fits in well with the Private Press era music. If you are a fan of the new album, I would check this out. Its a nice single to have.

4.0 out of 5 stars DJ Shadow brings new meaning to the word "remix", November 23, 2002

"Six Days" from the LP "The Private Press" is a weird one. If DJ Shadow hadn't made this song, then god knows who would've! DJ Shadow's songs, like most Hip Hop songs have a message within them. While some are more suble than others, this song's message is pretty obvious (and for an 'old' track, the lyrics are relevant to today's current issues). The Mos Def vocal remix is sublime, the video is bizarre, and the music is as rewarding as ever.

This is the second new single from DJ Shadow and recently hit number one on Billboard 's Top 12"/Maxi single sales chart. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it because I don't know much about the artist so his music is new to me. The first track is the remix and with more guitars and hip hop elements and the rap of Mos Def--- the mix is only(3:51) but very intesesting. The Radio Edit(3:38) and Album Instrumental (4:59) are more trip hop in feel. The best song is the track "100 Metre Dash" which combines elements of drum & bass with actual live jazz elements like the drums pattern. The fault is that there should have been a second remixer to give the song a different vibe than just DJ Shadow. Very good.
