The Cat Empire (album) - Versions

Versions

A different version of The Cat Empire has been released in some European countries under the Universal Music Group. It adds the rare track "Feline" (as found on "Touring Europe and the UK, 2004") as track number 7, effectively pushing the other tracks down. "The Chariot" and "Beanni" also trade places. A promotional advance release of the album also exists (labeled 'PR337', pressed by Virgin Records), called Oct 2003 Album and was sent to reviewers before the album was released. It contains the same track listing as the European version. Another advance release exists, again, pressed by Virgin Records, and labeled 'PR343', which has the same track listing as the 'PR337' release, albeit with correct spelling of track 3 on the disc.

The tracks in the promotional release are all earlier, more 'raw' mixes and have very subtle differences, yet they contribute greatly to the depth of each track. A few examples include extra background percussion throughout "How to Explain?", and different voice samples in "Days Like These" (for example, the "one two" sample, and Will's Mexican voice).

  1. How to Explain? - 3:37
  2. Days Like These - 4:07
  3. The Lost Song - 3:15 (incorrectly named as 'The Last Song' on 'PR337' promotional release)
  4. Beanni - 2:18
  5. Hello - 3:44
  6. One Four Five - 3:24
  7. Feline - 2:36
  8. The Rhythm - 3:24
  9. The Wine Song - 7:22
  10. Nothing - 3:41
  11. The Chariot - 5:35
  12. The Crowd - 5:16
  13. Manifesto - 2:34
  14. All That Talking - 6:53

Famous quotes containing the word versions:

    The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
