Street Spirit is honestly one of Radiohead's best songs so this EP is definitely elevated because of that. The other songs prove that this is their most consistent EP/Single of this era as they are all quite good and moody - complementing the main single here.

The other tracks, which are just remixes, are mildly compelling first because of planet telex's very alien sounding aesthetic and Killer Cars quieter instrumental backdrop, but once I got over this initial interest, I started to zone out during these tracks. It's okay overall but largely unspecial in their catalogue.

One of their better early releases. It's clear from this EP that they had improved their song writing ability and created some nice, atmospheric tunes.
