This remix is head and shoulders above the original. What was once a soft, lush indie darling is now a pumping, electronic body-mover. It's amazing the change a song can go through with a different chord progression.
"It's ok to feel the rain on my hands, my love, my enemy"
Michael Kiwanuka - Tell me a Tale
The return of Mr. Otis Redding? Maybe I'm too in love with Michael Kiwanuka, but to hear modern soul this good warms the cockles of my heart. The album is a great journey.
"Turn me around so I can be, everything I was meant to be"
Electric Guest - Awake
The hook, good lord. Electric Guest channels their inner Mamas and Papas with a stellar harmonized chorus with out-of-left-field chord changes.
"The truth is that I never shook my shadow, every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle"
Paper Tiger - The Bully Plank
A great piano and drums groove up to the 1:11 mark, where... the same piano line plays backwards? Awesome. And the out of the blue vocal line just kills it.
"The man I used to be: don't know why I loved you"
Kamp! - Cairo
After those first 45 seconds, when that heavy synth groove kicks in... it gets me every time. I've scoured the internet for more Kamp! but 3 songs is all I've found. All three, though, have been as impressive as this.
"I'm the sand leaking through your hands, until you're here"
