"First off: this is one of the best singles by any artist, and even Bjork. Usually singles should only be bought by die-hard fans who need to have the B-sides, but this is a must buy for even the casual Bjork listener. The first song, the radio edit of 'Bachelorette', is absolutely stunning. It stands out among the rest of the 'Homogenic' singles because it's so uplifting, whereas the album as a whole is pretty dark. 'My Snare' has a great beat, and 'Scary' is like something out of a musical. Both great songs. The final song, a different version of 'Bachelorette' really brings out the power of the strings because it doesn't feature the piano part. Overall, this is a MUST have."
Superb mixes of a superb song - and a good b-side!

"This song was Björk second Homogenic single, and, in my opinion one of her best works ever. The single include six tracks, five Bachelorette mixes and a fab. b-side called My Snare (also known as Nature Is Ancient from the Japanese Homogenic, which also can be ordered from Amazon.The mixes are:Bachelorette (Radio Edit) Bachelorette (Mark Bell "Blue" Remix) Bachelorette (Mark Bell "Optimism" Remix) Bachelorette (Mark Bell "Zip" Remix) Bachelorette (Grooverider "Jeep" Remix)The different mixes captures different feelings of this song, the jungle style jeep mix and the zip mix are funky, the RZA mix more ambient, while the blue mix make you want to dance. My personal favourite is the optimistic mix, which really is hard to descibe. Buy this CD and listen for youself. This is well spent money - 5 stars, but again: this is a Björk CD!"
Great CD for Single Woman

"More great Bjork songs.
"My Snare" kind of has the same feeling as the LFO remix of "Possibly Maybe" from the "Telegram" album. although alot more upbeat and less dark.
"Scary" is a truly magikal song. it has no beats but only a harpsichord and some gentle electronic bleeps and blurps going on in the background. the song kind of just skips along in a gleeful way and will certainly stick in your head.
the remix of "Bachelorette" here is really good and adds alot of dramatic and cinematic touches to the (already dramatic and cinematic) original.
