I've been listening my way across all of globe's singles (I'm now at dreams from above, so quite far already) on Spotify and I'd like to share some thoughts:
- I know it's been mentioned before, but it still always surprises me how many of globe's songs have different mixes featured on the album vs. the single release. TK was not lazy with globe's albums, clearly. The differences often aren't too huge, but I still tend to prefer the album mixes (maybe because I'm already familiar with them and my brain wants to reject the newer versions, lol). However, there are a few cases where I've found the album mix to be notably superior: try this shoot, THE MAIN LORD, on the way to YOU.
- The single and album mix of DEPARTURES are both good, but the true defining, superior version of the song is the ARRIVAL version from their ballad compilation.
- The FACES PLACES era singles are amazing (except Is this love, which is just alright), what an iconic era.
- I'm liking wanna Be A Dreammaker more every time I hear the song. I think I might prefer the album mix though, I've had lots of time to fall in love with all its messy glory.
- Aside from Dreammaker, all the other singles from the Relation era (Sa Yo Na Ra, sweet heart, Perfume of love) are just... bottom-of-the-barrel globe material. Perfume of love's verses are the only redeeming thing on these singles. What a terrible era.
- MISS YOUR BODY is such a weird single... Why does it even exist, honestly?
- Songs I haven't appreciated enough earlier: Wanderin' Destiny, Love again, still growin' up. These deserve more listening!
- Not related to singles but still globe: I did some traveling this past week and had downloaded globe's trance remix albums for listening. I can confirm that the global trance albums make for great music for melting into your seat and emptying your head on the plane. "Love again -Vincent de Moor trance vocal mix-" and "dreams from above -TK MIX-" are now big favourites.
