Comments: Recent playlist favorite Norah Jones has two tracks from her latest cd The Fall remixed on this lovely bonus EP. There are two remixes of "Chasing Pirates"--the Santigold and Snotty remix turns the track into a heavier, lower-tone track, and the Droogs remix is a slower, fuzzier take on the tune. The one remix of "That's What I Said" by Adrock and Mike D is a sparser, but still creative, mix of the original, repeating and highlighting certain vocal sections. All of the remixes do a lovely job of maintaining the orginal integrity of the songs but still twisting them in interesting ways.

For comparison purposes, the original versions of both songs are included on the EP. Well worth a listen if you've been spinning The Fall (or are a remix fanatic).
