CD ALBUM Review: 5 song EP that has three songs not found on the 'Sun Structures' release - Songs: (1) Shelter Song (seems to be the same version as the album with slightly different mix - I like the album mix better) (2) Prisms - interesting tune would fit right in on 'Sun Structures' full length album. (3) Colours to Life (same version as the full length album - this mix is fuller - less muddy that the album 'Sun Structures' (4) Ankh - another interesting tune that would fit right in on the 'Sun Structures' release. (5) Jewel of Mine Eye - (the best song (in my opinion) on the EP - I like this very much. This EP is a bit pricey for 5 songs but worth it for the 3 new songs. Not sure who is benefiting from the exorbitant price but hopefully the band is! Oddly enough I only heard of this group through an alert I have setup on google during my 'Syd Barrett' phase that compared them to early Floyd. I took a chance and bought the 'Sun Structures' release without even previewing the songs - it was the end of a crazy day and it seems like the right thing to do at the time. Once in the car system it has not been removed ever since until I found 1 copy available and sold by desertcart directly. I am hoping the band tours the East Coast as I really like their music and song writing skills. If they could hook up with the producer of the 'Black Angels' that would be over the top as to me the album and EP could use a better mix to bring out the vocals a bit and really make the music pop. These releases are still excellent and Temples is my new favorite band. Another bonus with this EP is that the booklet includes the words to all of the songs where as 'Sun Structures' does not. Highly recommended band and releases. Review: Mind-blowing, and I don't care what anyone else says. - One of the best new bands out there right now. Whenever I play "Temples Radio" on Pandora, Temples' songs always stand out above all the others. Light, melodic, dreamy, and cosmodelic. I would drive five hours to see them live. The three tracks that do not appear on "Sun Structures" alone are worth the price of this disc.

Worth the price for a few extra songs
This EP is a great supplement to their Sun Structures album. Two of the tracks were also on the "LP" CD, but the otherwise unavailable material made me want to purchase this collection as well. Although a bit more expensive (an import in the US market), EP proved to be worth the price.

Great new Psychedelic sounds......
This is the first real CD release by a great new UK band with hints of early Pink Floyd(only in music),Byrds 12 string guitar,and fun cool tripped out lyrics. Look for the new album....coming soon in 2014....and know that some of these tracks may show-up there also.

the CD sounds better than the vinyl
Wow, this band rules. A British version of Tame Impala in my opinion. Well needed music. Unfortunately, the CD sounds better than the vinyl. I take it they just aren't mastering for vinyl. It's too bad.

ファーストアルバムに入っている2曲を含め、夢のようにカラフルで楽しい音楽です。 私はとくにサイケデリックのジャンルに思い入れはないにもかかわらず、なぜこんなにもテンプルズの音楽に魅了されるのでしょう。 でも、一部の昭和のグループサウンズは好きです。T2やT5は、はっきりと日本のGSを思い起こさせる音で、ある年代以上の日本人に懐かしい感覚をおぼえさせますね。当時のGSが参照した60年代のUK音楽などを、共通してリスペクトしているのでしょうか。 なにしろ、色とりどりの5曲です。私は最近ファンになったニワカですが、この1枚が出た当時、どれだけ人々のふわふわした感覚をぶわっと幻惑したのであろうと想像すると楽しいです。

Ce maxi comporte 5 titres (20 min) qui restent dans l'ambiance de leur (1er) album, indispensable à quiconque ayant succombé au charme psyché de ce fabuleux LP - "shelter song", tirée de l'album - "prisms", titre inédit qui n'aurait pas dépareillé sur l'album, - "colours to life" , ici dans un mix différent, un peu plus aérienne et éthérée, mais aussi légèrement plus longue - "ankh" , un titre joué durant leur set en live, basse en avant toute et synthé orientalisant, écho sur la/les voixe, barrée à fond - "jewel of mine eye", super morceau, tjrs ds le trip de "sun structures"

Got this for my wife, but i've listened to it more than her. Only has five songs on it. But then it is only an EP. Can't wait for there album to come out.
