Chinese Burn (song)
"Chinese Burn" is a 1997 song by the alternative rock band Curve. It was the first single from their third studio album "Come Clean", and was released on 18 November 1997 in the US and on 1 December 1997 in the UK. This song is featured in the 1999 "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode, "Bad Girls", the "La Femme Nikita" TV show soundtrack, as well as the first theatrical trailer for the film "X-Men" (2000) and the trailer for "Torque (2004)". It also featured in the wrecking yard fight scene of the 2006 movie "Stormbreaker". A  portion of the Lunatic Calm remix was included as a music track in the game "FIFA 2001". In August 2020, Bandcamp premiered a collection of mixes of "Chinese Burn" that were originally recorded to DAT. These were mostly monitor mixes and instrumentals of the tracks "Chinese Burn", "Coming Up Roses", "Killer Baby" and "Dirty High". They were released under the title "Chinese Burn EP - Bootleg Series 2". According to band member Dean Garcia, "These are the original recordings and mixes from the 4 track Chinese Burn EP that we recorded and mixed with Steve at Moles studios in Bath just  before we started the Come Clean album... These versions are all un-mastered (ie straight off the board) mixes we made at Moles. All of the tracks were subsequently remixed-reproduced/revisited and mastered for the official album release version on Come Clean by Alan, Flood and Tim Simenon to name a few. These raw off the board versions made by Steve have always been my (Dean) faves."
