Like most Roger single edits, this is another good one. The intro is largely
cut and much of the instrumental sections are now gone... and you can
hardly tell. Quite well done. Still, stick to the album version.

Probably the best Queen or Queen related club
remix. Features the typical fast tempo club beat and some neat sound effects.
Thankfully, some of the guitars have stayed in as well. Not as good as
the album version but at least it's not as bad as the You Don't Fool Me
mixes.

A fairly major remixing of the album version. Definitely not an edit,
as it's longer than the original. The Radio Mix has a really different
yet familiar sound compared to the album version. Thankfully, Treana Morris'
vocals have remained in place too.

Recorded live at Cyberbarn. A good live version of the song. The backing
instruments are somewhat subdued and sparce. Roger's lead vocal carries
the song (including Treana's parts).

Appears on: Electric Fire CD Acetate
Appearing on a CD acetate, the original version of Surrender features
Jonathan Perkins, not Roger Taylor on lead vocals. Treana Morris' vocal
parts are the same that appear on the album version. Roger sings the chorus
just as it appears on the album version as well.

Another club/dance mix. Surprisingly, it's not all that much different
from the album version. There is a quicker tempo backbeat and some sampled
vocals added. Not bad, but again, I'd stick to the original.

Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Electric Fire CD Acetate
A very rare, original version of 'Is It Me?' appears on a CD acetate
of Electric Fire. At 4:28, it's obvious that the song is over a minute
longer; featuring extra verses and chrouses not present on the album.

Recorded live at Cyberbarn. A very good, rocking version. It doesn't stray
much from the album version, which is a good thing. The performance has
lots of energy, which comes across well in the recording.

A very interesting remix, that is mostly instrumental. Most of the vocals
are now gone, with mostly just the chorus vocals remaining. Recommended.
Tonight (Live) 4:20

Recorded live at Cyberbarn. A quieter, more subdued live version. Roger's
lead vocals have a minor echo effect added to them. Much more relaxing and
peaceful than the album version. Not much has changed though, and it still
feels familiar. A well done performance.

A major single edit of the album version. The intro is much shorter and
the outro is now gone. It gets the point of the song across very well
in much less time.

A very repetitve song. It's a fun cover with a lot of energy, but one listen
is enough. Roger's voice works well for the track. The drumming, piano,
and horns all sound great.

Originally appearing only as a Real Media file
from Roger Taylor's official website promoting Electric Fire, this track
also appears on an acetate CD-R. Regardless, in the last few years a high
quality version has been leaked to the collecting community. Some nice guitar
and a heavy beat keeps the song interesting. Worth finding. |
