This is the debut single for Rename, the musical project of Marcus Geltner and Toby Bartzsch. Though little information is available on the band through their website, I was able to find some background information on the band through the Aeschtunes website. The band has been together since 2001, and while the band claims numerous influences, the band that comes to mind the most while I'm listening to Rename is The Beatles. The vocals are the main reason for that line of thinking, as Marcus' voice is oddly reminiscent of Paul McCartney's, especially the earlier Beatles more pop-oriented songs.

I was extremely impressed with "Maybe Later I Will Fall" (the extended version of this song is excellent!), and the title track for this single is a worthy follow-up to that song, with another slightly sad but addictive chorus. Something else I found unusual was that all the remixes were outstanding! Each and every remix/alternate version of the title track was very, very impressive, and I can honestly say that both Provision and DJ Ram, as well as Rename themselves, really gave us 5 distinctive and outstanding versions of the song. About the only stumble on the disc was the b-side "Love Is A Cool Cat". The song seems to wander aimlessly for 4 & 1/2 minutes, showing a little Jazz influence in the music but remaining for the most part annoyingly repetitive and dull.

Overall, though, this single really is excellent, and well worth your time and money. Highly recommended!!!
