I must admit that I was a little afraid of doing overseas buying's (althought I've done it before many times, but it was a long time ago) but this particular promo CD was the ultimate item on my Olive collection... I was looking for it for several years, in fact this promo cd is from 1998 and got deleted after a very short number of copies were out there in few UK record stores, so you can imagine that for a mexican fan getting this cd was almost impossible, but nothing that EIL couldn't do. I must say that I'm gratefully amazed by the wonderfull treat by the EIL's team and items arrived in excellent conditions to my door, it felts almost like if I were back in 1998 receiving the promo just when it got released... About the CD I must say You are nothing is one of the most fine pieces from the '97 Extra virgin album, I was a little curios about a "radio edit" of the tune and I was afraid the song could got mutilated in purpose of getting shorter for a radio airplay but the cut of almost 40" gets practically unnoticed, and the "callout hooks" it's a concept I hadn't seen before in promo singles o regular/comercial singles (and I have really a lot). Just to end, the cover it's the most warm of any Olive realease, nothing like they did before or after, also has a latin feeling (shared with the song) and don't know why, but that makes it a little special. Olive was one of those few eletronic groups that could provide amazing lyrics and a great yet organic sound, almost a masterpiece. | [reply to this topic] |
