My iPod #411: Nine Black Alps – Get Even

“Get Even” is a B-Side that can only be found on the vinyl single of Nine Black Alps’ song “Not Everyone”, released in 2005. Due to the track only being released on the vinyl format, it is very very hard to find this track anywhere. It’s not on iTunes, not Spotify…. nothing. Well, unless you go to the band’s official website. It can be found there on their music player on the homepage.

Its format of release also causes the track to have somewhat of a mono-aural mix where everything you hear is in the centre channel rather than the regular ‘stereo’ mix. Dunno why that really matters, I just thought I should tell you.

The track does sound like it could fit right in to “Everything Is“, obviously being recorded around the time the album was being worked on it would do. Though I think it’s a good song, the only thing problem I have with it is that it isn’t as thrilling or powerful as the twelve tracks on that album. Maybe it’s the mono mix that takes its edge off a bit, I don’t know. But even if it was in stereo, I don’t think it could have matched up to the songs on the final tracklist. The band probably knew this too.

Still, it is one to hear if you’re into Nine Black Alps. It is a hard song to find.
