The album makes a number of alterations to its predecessor. One track ("Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic") is a brand new version, with altered lyrics and a faster tempo. Four ("Undisputed (The Moneyappolis Mix", "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold", "Hot Wit U (Nasty Girl Remix)" and "Man'O'War (Remix)") have been remixed or had substantial musical elements added or removed. Three tracks ("Tangerine", "Baby Knows" and "Prettyman") are mostly unchanged, save for slightly longer tag endings, or extended jams at the end. Five are unchanged ("So Far, So Pleased", "I Love U, but I Don't Trust U Anymore", "Silly Game", "Whatever U Do, Wherever U Go", "The Sun, the Moon and Stars"). Lastly, two tracks, "Strange but True" and "Everyday Is a Winding Road", have been removed and replaced by the moody "Beautiful Strange", a previously unreleased track written in 1998. As it was released via the fan-centric NPG Music Club, the album received virtually no attention from wider media. However, with several improved songs, the removal of two weaker tracks, and the addition of "Beautiful Strange", one of the album's highlights, fans generally consider Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic to be superior to its predecessor. |
