I haven't heard Whole Sky Monitor's album 'Bland Bland Bland', so can't really compare these new versions to the originals, but from the sounds of B-sides 'Sick Sick Sick' and 'N.O.', if not the lead song 'Cinenema', the Axis Of Evil mixes must surely be an improvement, they sound that impressive.
'Cinenema' is beefy, bass heavy dance-rock in the mould of fellow Leeds residents The Sunshine Underground. It'll appeal to the lairy and laddish, but doesn't make a great impression, unlike 'Sick Sick Sick' and 'N.O.'. The former is a gobby, Arctic Monkeys playing Shooting At Unarmed Men, punk song, directing its anger in the all the right places. The latter is awkward but chipper grunge pop about leaving someone. It was definitely worth doing them again.
