Not quite.. Oh well, these versions are pretty good. I bought this because I thought it contained a version of this song that I wanted but it didn't.
mostly for completist Norman Cook fans
Don't get me wrong -- "Sunset (Bird Of Prey)" is a nice track. This single, featuring a song taken from Fatboy Slim's 2000 album _Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars_, is unremarkable. But if you already own the album, this single is scarcely worthwhile.
1. Sunset (Bird Of Prey) (Edit) - Cutting off over three minutes from the full version, this edit presents the song in an easily listenable compact format. Unfortunately, it ends with a fade-out, rather than the nice drumless conclusion of the full version.
2. Sunset (Bird Of Prey) (Full Version) - This is the same as the album version, but is good to have if you are a DJ or making a compilation. On the album, the sustained last note of the pad synth abruptly disappears as "Lovelife" starts. Here, the note is held just a little longer and then gently stops. Also, the beginning of this track is free of any lingering "Star 69" outro noise.
3. My Game - Although funky and danceable, this B-side sounds mediocre and ugly to my ears.
4. Sunset (Bird Of Prey) (Darren Emerson Remix) - Darren Emerson (formerly of Underworld) gives this song a bright, minimalistic clubby makeover dominated by a fast bassline. Jim Morrison's vocal samples are vocoded for a trendy but nice effect.
sunset...
well sunset (bird of prey) started off engaing with the Jim-Morrison sample Bird of Prey, but something is lacking here cos the sample is looped around the same beat without any significant developments. . Fatboy Slim seem not sure where it is headed for. . .
a great song tto start off a change in direction. . . but the album does contain some potent songs especially the 2 luded collaborations with Macy Gray and the wonderful Something Bourt My Baby & A song for shelter.
