4 | | Babii iii+
This is the three tracks from "iii" rereleased with kind of a reworked alternate version outro for each cut. It actually elevates the EP and makes it feel a lot more substantial. This should have been the original/only version.

32 | | George Clanton, Nick Hexum Aurora Summer
Instrumentally, this collaboration feels like a more genuine progression from 100% Electronica than Slide did - an album that felt a bit more like a side-step than a step forward. Unfortunately, pairing with 311 guitarist/singer Nick Hexum serves to the EPs detriment, with Hexum's vocal performances and lyrics bogging down the fantastic instrumentals. Hexum's presence is something that can just barely be ignored in favour of the otherwise gleeful product, but it's still a very unwelcome addition that provides very little other than a side-order of second-hand embarrassment.
