Four and a half stars, really.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Oh boy, the first review for this item! Well, if you're checking this item out, chances are you're a fellow ninja (if not, then you probably have no idea what I meant by that). Anyways, this is a neat little single. It gets half a star less than five because it repeats itself by beginning with an edited album version of "Nepalese Bliss" and then ending with the full album version. BUT, ah, track two just melts like butter and drips from the speakers like hot candle wax. It's a remix by Dj Food, the master, and it does what a great remix should do: it takes a piece of the original and runs with it, creating something distinctly original to the remixer. Though it's a remix, it's definetely a full-on treat from Food. Amon Tobin, another master, takes a stab at the song too, creating a repetative (that not said in a bad way), ominious, and very bassy trip. Fila Brazilia is the other remixer, creating the most up-tempo, funky remix, and closest to the original. The original "Nepalese Bliss", like other Irrisistable Force tracks I've heard, is understated, mellow, and very ambient. I think this single is worth ten bucks, for the Dj Food remix alone. Ninjas, this is one little treat you'll most likely want to indulge in. To the rest of you, do you fancy slow, ambient, tripped out songs about hashish laced with opium, remixed into electro-jams and dark, sinister loops? If so, purchase."
