Seems like the fans have to wait a little longer on the very first live DVD, which was already announced last year, now set to be released in fall 2007. To make the waiting more pleasant CLAN OF XYMOX mastermind Ronny Moorings decided to release an EP in between entitled Heroes.
It is not so difficult to guess that Heroes is the classic by David Bowie, covered by CLAN OF XYMOX in two versions. First version is dubbed as “slow Industrial version” and much more original than the Pop-version that follows later. Just the “Industrial” aspect COX could have lived out more intensive ;)
It follows On A Mission a brand new song, again in two version, whereas they differ just marginally. First one is luckily not that… let’s say technoid, with leanings to the older work, a bit darker, while latter one hits the dancefloors with driving beats.
The quintet gets rounded up with Be My Friend in its single version, a successful track from the last record Breaking Point, which has pleased many fans with its Carl Orff theme that I actually found quite trite.
Upshot: Hmm… well, as for me I find Heroes a bit meager for this EP. I’m sure that there are still many rare or even unknown remix-versions and other stuff that would have jazzed up this EP. Same goes for the booklet. This way you just notice and even long more intensive for the DVD. 7 points.
