Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars It's so good I bought it twice........2001-09-20

The first time I bought this CD, it had included at no extra charge a limited edition 4-track bonus CD that included the tracks "White Gold", "Phone Call" (which I believe I've seen as an addition to at lest one of the imported CD singles, as well), and scorchingly intense live versions of "Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth" and "I Love You".
>
The bonus CD alone (now sadly out of circulation) was worth the cost of the CD itself (which is, start to finish, an incredible work by a band that's really hit their stride), so I thought I'd see if the Australians were lucky enough to score with the bonus CD included with this import edition of "Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia".

That's a most-reaffirming "HELL, YES", by the way. "Seven Tales For Urban Australia", as the bonus disc is known, is a multimedia effort that opens with a subdued (yet very menacing) cover of AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" that sounds so similar to track 1 of the full-length CD ("Godless") that I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was recorded as part of a sound check when preparing to record that song. Reminiscent of some of the music from Ennio Morricone's scores of Sergio Leone's old Spaghetti Westerns, a recurring feature I've noticed on certain Dandy tracks from CD to CD. Next comes the "Black Dog Lithium Carbonate 300 mg Mix" of "Bohemian Like You", which demonstates very well what is both right and wrong with remixes. Taken on its own merit, it's not bad and it grows well on the listener...but having heard (and lived) "Bohemian Like You" so many times, I feel the need to play the CD to enjoy the song's proper version after listening to the remix. "Dub Song" (I think has also been released on an import CD single as a "B" track) is an aural soundscape recording in a similar fashion as "Phone Call", for those familiar with that song, but much livelier. For some reason it reminds me a bit of pre-"Kick" INXS (which may be why it was included on an Australian release). "Boys Better" is the exact same version that appears on "...Come Down", so its inclusion is somewhat questionable, unless it's to indoctrinate those unofrtunate masses who are yet to own the precursor to "Thirteen Tales Of Urban Bohemia"...but "Boys Better" had previously been released as a CD single, so I'm not sure why another track from "...Come Down" couldn't've been substituted. "Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth" is the last audio track included on the bonus disc, and it's the same version that appears on the limited edition 4-track bonus CD I mentioned before. As for the videos included, I'm not the biggest fan of this format...I would prefer that record companies release videos as enhanced DVD rather than CD ROM (DVD players being more likely to be integrated into home theatre systems than are PC's).
