Beautiful Strange

I don't have time to write a review, but a lot of people thought the original version that was on the "Beautiful Strange" interview on VH1 and also sold through 1-800-New-Funk was superior to the version on "Rave In2..."

My sentiments exactly. The original version of 'Beautiful Strange' is far superior to the one that appeared on 'Rave In2'.

Which is not to say the 'Rave' version sucks in any way... it's just that the original is more mellow and jazzy - a great song to get down to, in fact.

It's a shame he didn't put it on Rave UN2 the joy fantastic.. and released it as a single.. it's really a chill-out, mysterious, sexy track...

The original was only available on the 'Beautiful Strange'
video that was available through NPGMC. It's never been
officially released on CD (though it has turned up on a
few boots)
