Customer Reviews
Possibly Better than the original
This is an amazing remix, it is just. Oh words cannot explain how awesome this is. The song starts off as just a normalsih remix song, then you hear the pumping bass and your pulled in to a different world. For me the best part is abotu 2:15 from the end when Brandon is singing "I never..I never" then the bass comes back. It makes you wanna dance. Now Buy It!
I Hate to Say It, But This Was a Disappointment!
I downloaded this mostly at the word of other reviewers, partially because the 30 second sample won't do you any good. But there's a hitch: Most of the song sounds like the sample! Perhaps it correlates to my own music, as a fairly proficient [I like to think] keyboardist. I personally have a rather unhealthy fascination with the original, and I still wasn't struck by this.
Majestic
stuart price (jacques lu cont, les rhythmes digitales, zoot woman), takes a great song and makes it something else entirely, not better or worse, more like a coda, an epilogue, a second part to the original song's first chapter. where the original is all rather forlorn, paranoid, self-loathing, new wavish dance rock that steers just shy of maudlin pouting in faovr of "hurts so good" despair, the remix is more relaxed, and almost angelic in its arrangement--like the aftermath of a conflict, the calm quiet after the storm, a kind of bliss found in losing everything. of course, it's tailored for the dancefloor, and would work well in the mix, very epic and intense, building tension and satisfyingly releasing it with that wonderful chord change that leads to the chorus. the whole thing is like a climax, exhilrating and exhausting. so much so we can forgo the obvious new order comparisons (your silent face, the perfect kiss, ), with some hint of the cure in their head on the door/kiss me period, when they were releasing those beautiful and wistfull b-sides, with the keyboard strings/flutes, the kind of comfortable sadness that had not yet turned to cheese and replay (see wish and on for the cure's descent into autopilot). interesting band, solid album, and a wonderful remix. brand new, not retro.
