Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 2001 EP. Wonder What It's Like was the first musical product of Pia Fraus. The album shows the beginnings of the musical aims and preferences of a group of 18-year-old Estonian shoegazers. The aesthetics were, at the time, somewhat limited by technical possibilities, but these limitations could not fully smother the constant and discreetly controlled beauty of the band's music. The album takes off with youthful energy and it is the held-back vocals that offer a glimpse into Pia Fraus' future sound. There are some rough corners and unpolished surfaces, and more lo-fi noise than the current Pia Fraus fans have come to like and expect. But the band's search for their personality is obvious here. In addition to the tracks from the original release, the album contains four remixes from Galaktlan, Njuu, Snafu, and Lobsand Dorje. How Fast Can You Love?, Obnoxious, Moon Like a Pearl, Obnoxious (Galaktlan Tired RMX), Summer Before Spring, In Mind, Deep Purple Girl (Njuu RMX), Summer Before Spring (Snafu RMX), Beautiful Next Time, Deep Purple Girl, Swim in Eyes (Lobsand Dorje Evening Tea RMX), Swim in Eyes
