Duration: 4 tracks, 16:44
In late 2013, B2C offered two EPs to promote their new, full
length LP due out December 2014. Funding for the new LP is by fan pledge funded
through pleadgemusic.com. Pledges at this writing have exceeded goal. This
review is offered to B2C fans to wet their collective whistle for the upcoming
release.
The following EP, the second to be offered, provides three
takes on two songs originally recorded on their last LP of the same title as
the band’s name. The last song on this EP is new.
- “Closer To The Edge”
(alternate version) – with Roy Orbison-like guitar intro, occasionally
mixed in synth to accentuate the chorus, and sharper percussion, this version
further highlights Delopoulus’ poetry.
- “Live In A Van” (alternate
version) – with an intro of knocking on wood, this light version is mild,
romping fun.
- “Live In A Van” (live) –
for those lucky enough to see B2C live you know how their performance is
tight but what stands out is the occasional improvisation of the various
band members especially that of Delopoulus’ vocal treatment. Here, the
electric guitar, some slide, and organ highlight the version.
- “Tonelious” (live) – organ
and electric guitar give foundation to a very rhythmic guitar / vocal
duet. Something new in style showing growth and future.
Here there is an example in alternatives, live versions, and
a new song forecasting what is to come on December xx, 2014 in B2C’s 3rd
full-length album release.
