Red Flag - Fear Series Box Set Disc Five - So Lie With Me MCD

So Lie With Me
Ave Maria
So Lie With Me (Loveless Mix)
So Lie With Me (Truthless Mix)
So Lie With Me (Sheetless Mix)

One of the more dance oriented tracks from "Fear Of A Red Planet", "So Lie With Me" here gets the single treatment with 3 remixes and one b-side track. I was somewhat unsure of how I felt about the track when I heard it on the album, but I've come to enjoy the song. That pounding rhythm just gets in you head...

The b-side, a version of "Ave Maria", was pretty unimpressive to me. I've never been too enthralled with the song, and Red Flag didn't manage to change it radically enough to make it more interesting. 

The first of the remixes, the Loveless mix, is very club oriented, with the percussion slightly reworked and the bass given new emphasis. I like it! The Truthless mix increases that emphasis on the bass and percussion, giving the track somewhat of a drum and bass feel to it. The Sheetless mix is a different approach to the track, with softer synth sounds, the metallic harshness toned down just a bit in the percussion, and a altogether softer take on the song, while retaining the powerful bass. Overall, a interesting single, but it suffers a bit from repetition.
