Some Versions Don't Have Birds
Pyser" instead of "Birds". I think the music is great, but I wanted to warn anyone else that some versions of the Army cd single, with the same cover, have "Theme From Dr. I preordered it on Amazon. com and got that one. Its not so bad, since "Birds" is on the Japanese version of the album and I live in Japan, so it shouldn't be too hard for me to find. My version does have "Air" and "Leather Jacket". "Leather Jacket" was written by drummer Darren Jesse, who also wrote "Magic" from the album (track 4, the one with the "sha-la-la's" and the timpani) and its really good, with a great chorus, though short. "Air" is a great track. "Dr. Pyser" is an instrumental, kind of cheesy, but fun. It was done in the same sessions as "Air" with producer Brendan O'Brian, the bass is great--superior sound to their usual work with Caleb Southern.


Fabulous CD, perfect compliment to the Messner CD
This is why. I used to wonder why people bought singles that were on CDs that they already have. Army is a fabulous track, but it has nothing to with why I bought this CD. Packaging "Birds", which is so hauntingly beautiful, with "Leather Jacket" which is also the kind of song that stays with you long after you've stopped listening to it, makes a wonderful bonus to Reinhold Messner. Both of these songs carry the feel of the full-length CD onto the single. And "Air" is simply gorgeous. I love the vocal harmonies on that song. If you have Reinhold Messner, you really should get this single.
