OP Birdsong Administrator Joined: Dec 2006 Southampton, England	Originally Posted By: Herbert the turbot Not only must we all have umpteen versions of Hiroshima Mon Amour, Just For A Moment, Burning Cat and He's A Liquid, none have surpassed the originals, have they! I could tell you exactly how many versions of each of these we have. If you like... But I would disagree about Burning Car. IMHO there are two or three versions out that are 'better' than the original...

Doesn't really add much to the originals/other versions except a whole lotta pad-drumming by Benge. Expected more squeaky violin by Ms. Peel.

I've no issue with the roughness of it, but I could have done with more power . I agree there's not enough of Hannah's violin and when it is heard it lacks the atmosphere it had when I saw The Maths live. And a few more songs from the tour set would have been welcome. Perhaps they were recorded and turned out to be substandard. Last edited by The Quiet Trees; 05/14/13 02:28 PM.

John's vocals sound a bit off in places too. Sadly it does sort of feel like this is a short selection (probably the best bits) from a longer recording, released (pretty much last minute) for the OMD tour...

By my reckoning, 'we' have : He's A Liquid - 7 versions Just For A Moment - 8 versions Hiroshima Mon Amour - 9 versions Burning Car - 10 versions
