he took the tracks and added beats and messed with it digitally...a remix,
but not the typical dance beat. It's done by Beck's piano player.

Eisley played these versions of T.E's and Golly Sandra exactly as you
hear them on the Snow Patrol tour, so....there shouldn't really be any
surprises for any who saw them... and, I documented the details of
tempo, the lap, etc. on the journal while it was happening.

gotta go! we're in LA and are starving!

Yeah, now i remeber you mentioning it, tho i must ask, if the band had much say in the change of tempo and adding of instrumentation to "lost at sea"? or the westerization of "Golly Sandra". They just seem less eisleyish and more radio friendly. Almost as if the girls are singing over a premade song, less of a feeling of a band. I dunno.

the Lost At Sea Remix is like a hip hop/techno Pet Sounds...that huge wall-of-sound type thing during the chorus. not to mention the percussion.


....still not as good as my Crunk At Sea remix. Evil or Very Mad

I think the Lost At Sea remix actually sounds quite Christmas-y, in all honestly.

Not really the lyrics, of course, but rather the music and overall feel of the song.

I still like them, however. Room Noises is going to be wonderful.

lost at sea is probably the best of the three tracks.... these tracks altogether are growing on me with repreated listens... although there need to be weeks for a definitive opinion to be formed...

by the way sherri why did you change the lyric "pallid" to "thoughtful"?

j-j-j-just curious.

Another error on the e-merge site.. it says the songs are from the upcoming "Laughing City", not upcoming "Room Noises"


Shocked that's my bad. I feel like such a geek for doing that - like committing a major sin in the Eisley world. I'm on vacation right now (updating from my hotel room), so I guess I was more intent on not forgetting my snorkel gear than making sure I looked over my posts. Cool

Thank you for your kind words and warm welcome. Very Happy I also noticed that you are a fan of Nellie McKay. I saw her a few weeks ago and she was very entertaining, to say the least. Smile

I hate them. The songs are crap.

Nah... who am I fooling?! Wink

"Golly Sandra" is pretty darn great, I must say. And I'm glad to hear "Lost at Sea" stayed pretty simple. I was never terribly fond of Telescope Eyes to begin with... so I don't really have anything to say about it.

Good stuff so far! And no, you're not mistaken, Boone.

I knew it.

Maybe I'm just a huge slide guitar fan. And "Golly Sandra" fan. And "Lost at Sea" fan. And Eisley fan. Sure, the first "Telescope Eyes" was the best, but it's still good. I think we're just spoiled from listening to so much Eisley.

well, what i hear so far is rather good. however, the quality of streaming audio sucks in general, so i'll hold my judgment until i hear the songs on the cd itself (which, depending on how soon i can get warner to send a promo copy to wmuc, hopefully won't be too long)

Golly Sandra was western-ish on the last tour. Sounds different to me too, but then again, this is the first studio version that I've heard!
