The Relapse EP contains one non-album track that is suitably called Relapse. Great, I like it when things aren't unnecessarily over-complicated.

Relapse isn't second rate in any way, it was probably just too long to fit on the already oversized Efforescense. For once, this track justifies all space-rock references that are bestowed on Oceansize. It has 2.30 minutes of ambient post-rock picking at the start before it launches into an excellent bass guitar driven groove that Colin Edwin would have been proud of. The vocals are mesmerizing and beautiful, the guitars wide and spacey. The second half of the track sticks closer to the ambitious indie prog of Efforescense.

An EP with 10 minutes of unreleased music is collectors material by default. The 3 stars can't obviously be compared to a full length 3 star album, they merely serve to indicate that it's a very good track.
