4.0 out of 5 stars Almost to Central, October 4, 2001

By	Katikuno (USA) - See all my reviews

This mini-album is probably just a sample to what their new sound is evolving to. I like this album but it's ashame they kept the song out "DJ" which was included in the Japanese album. I was going to buy that import with the song but an extra $... is just ridiculous. "Dead Wrestlers" is a powerful song with good lyrics which does reflect their great lyric writing for "Return to Central". The only down-side about this album is that many of the techno beats sound like something that can be done in an easy do yourself comp program. But that would only be a problem to some people I know who couldn't like this album because of the simple techno sounds. Though I enjoy it nonetheless. The other songs that also make this album good is probably "How can we be Strange?" and "Are You Ready?" I kind of only like the first three songs more than the last three. Over all this new sound is more mature and like how "Intendo" was a sample to what "Social Dancing" is. "Music for a Stranger World" is what "Return to Central". So for a hardcore bis fan as myself this album is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Dead Wrestlers" is the best song ever., May 6, 2001

By	Chris (Easton/Kutztown PA) - See all my reviews

What a great song. Probably one of the best songs that I've ever heard. The rest of the EP is good even though I don't think that they could ever write a song as good as "Dead Wrestlers" again. That's the only thing. If every song by Bis was as good as this song, they'd be the best band ever. All of my friends like this song, even though they don't like dance-pop. The difference between this and radio dance pop is that this is actually intelligent. Something in music that I've been looking for quite a while for.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Your politics are pantomime..." (!), March 4, 2001

The opener "Dead Wrestlers" is a track that should be played (and probably will be) over and over and over and over again. One of the best pop songs of the last ten years or so. I have to be honest and say I haven't heard the other tracks more than once or twice, a shame really , but that's how overpowering "Dead Wrestlers" is. I keep setting the player back to "1" and enjoying. I just wish there were a couple of extra verses in it. But as for the other tracks "I Want It All" and "How Can we Be Strange" also sound promising. This was my first Bis CD. It won't be my last.
