Dive - Extended Play download free

Im glad that this was just a one-time thing for Dirk. He's definitely best at his own material. Granted I hadnt heard the original versions of all these songs, but of the half that I had prior knowledge of, its a mediocre effort at best. It works on coolness factor, but quality-wise its lacking. There just seems to be an overall lazy boring sense to the whole thing. The cover of Sick In Your Mind should have been the best considering that it technically isnt even a cover, but it pales in comparison to the original. Isolation comes out sounding very hollow and unremarkable as does Hall Of Mirrors which happens to be my favorite Kraftwerk song so of course that was my biggest disappointment of this mini-release. Covers are meant to breathe some new life into classics such as these, but of course the general rule is: if there is more than one cover song on an album, its usually a bad sign. The only standout that I can pull from this release is Back To Nature. Now maybe I'll go back and see how the original sounded.
