Comments:

More remixes of Policy Of Truth. The first one is an intrumental bass-heavy mix with a sample I can't quite place, although I'm sure I've heard it in a movie ("I'm not a politician, I'm a businessman!", shouted by a man with a British accent, possibly Bob Hoskins. Could it be from 'Mona Lisa'?). Also, there are the occasional lyric samples, but not many. The melody is rather stripped down as well.

Track two is more acid-like than the remix on the other single, and it has a generally sharper and rougher feel to it. It sounds a bit more modern as well.

The Pavlov's dub is rather similar to the capitol mix, with the same bassline and some of the samples. It's has more elements of the original song, though. It's nothing spectacular if you already have the capitol version, but perhaps a bit more playful.

Track 4 is the regular (and very excellent) original version, so I won't waste much time describing that. The last track is a version of 'Kaleid' that somehow seems to be something in between the other two, which seems a bit strange if you consider that the remix name of track two seems to imply that characteristic. Well, maybe it's just me digging too deep into things.

I think the remix names are confused on the cover; track 1 is nothing like a remix with the same name on the US single, but track 3 is identical to said track. Hence, I conclude that track 1 is really the 'Pavlov's dub' and track 3 is the 'Trancentral mix'. Either that, or the US single is misprinted.
