H.I.A. is fine n' sexy just the way it is! Sweet build-ups!
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

Yes HIA was expertly blended into that mix!
I was one of those people who thought the song was OK - not stellar but nothing I'd turn the station on if it came on the radio. But I pulled out HIA and dusted it off a week and a half ago and gave it another listen. I must've gotten new ears, because now I think the song is so good! I like long intro, the buildups and how the song is in "parts" and lastly the wind-down intro.

the intro for me used to bug me a bit (one of those things you have to get used to) since it seemed to go on for ever. I like the rest the song simply because it sounds like chemical beats at a higher (or "hia" to put in lame joke terms) tempo and kinda hey boy hey girlish sounding to me (which is another reason i thought that was a good idea for a mix by sneakerbeater). For some odd reason my favorite part of the song seems to be those breaks where they have it go all quiet and then you get that reversed thing that just takes you back into the song... that is sweet, oh yeah

Biff I know exactly what you mean about "those reversed things." Those are the parts of the song that makes it peak for me. It kind of reminds me of a synthesized, reversed sounding tympani.

Hmmm. Not really... at least I don't think so! It's so hard to explain, but I know what Biff means, I swear!

It Began In Afrika is one of my personal favorites off Come With Us. It's meant to be played loud and the bit where it goes into the screaching peak is delicious. I also like how they released that single months before the release of Come With Us... due to popular demand I think - maybe that's where people have come up with the idea that it's overrated somehow - but I don't quite understand, it's a really energizing track. I'd like to hear some thoughts on this too, chemicalreaction.

Afrika does kick ass, fave version is still the single version though. That breakdown with the huge bass is just beautiful.
The album version has loads of cool one shots though, which is great but I miss the breakdown when I listen to it.
The radio edit has that cool "aaaaafffffriiiiiiikaaaaa" bit kinda near the end, that sample is sweet!

TPPR is not overrated, nor is TGP. CWU is not underrated either. Denmark is, but its nothing fantastic (just good) - I discovered this after several thousand listens.
