Heheheh. Beyond God and Elvis, that's quite clever. Cunning word plays apart, this actually isn't a bad little release. I'm not usually a fan of CDs with remixes on them, and true to form one of the ones on here is a bit poop - it's similar to the original (mid paced post rock, somewhere between Mogwai and ISIS) with some really annoying clicky noises in the background. Although I guess that could just be my CD player. The vocal sample is also slowed down and a bit wonky. The other remix, however, is a much more inviting proposal, and is as far as I can more of a cover than a remix - it appears to be the title track played by a sting quartet. Although I guess it could be clever samples and such. Sounds nice anyway.
Then there's another original song, which is much slower in tempo and contemplative than the title track, and to be honest not quite as good. There are also some videos on the CD, should you be REALLY bored.
