C'est tres excellent No need to analyze it to death ;) MSG is a cut and mix version of Bittersweet Symphony, though it's hardly recognizable. Lucky Man, as we all know (or should know), is a wonderful track. Lots of tympani is added in, which is fine with me (I have a weakness for typanis). Longest Day has great drums, making it more of an additional layer rather than a time keeper. The Lucky Man remix takes out most of the vocals, yet retains the dreamy state and enhances it. Most beautiful, and well worth it.
Quality b-sides
MSG (NOT Smg as Amazon states!) is a long instrumental track pieced together using various clips (most from Bitter Sweet Symphony). Lucky Man is the main attraction but most people have already heard it so theres little value in that track. The Longest Day is another long (7 minutes) track, and is very drugged out. Happiness More or Less is a McCabe remix of Lucky Man, which omits almost all of the lyrics. This is definitely an import worth buying: over 20 minutes of music, all of which is very good (compared to most other b-side CD's), for a very low price. The only downside is waiting the 5 weeks for it to come in the mail ;).
