the original scratchy indie guitar album tracks have been given the glossy techno\/dance\/electro makeover by all the right people for the nme\/nu-ravers to go all gooey over.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
some of the new versions are excellent, but the main problem for this particular listener is the presence of the original vocals which can often distract and annoy.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
if i hear the certain vocal snippets looped one more time i’ll bloody loose my rag.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
however, the revised backings are far more suitable to the current grooves required @ ireallylovemusic<\/EM> hq, so i guess i should declare my love.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
metronomy<\/STRONG> give their remix a spaced out funk groove, optimo<\/STRONG> do one of their brilliant throbbing dancefloor stompers that just build and builds with its layers until total sensory meltdown takes over, the bees<\/STRONG> do their old school hammond organ and horns funk which is where the vocals really begin to grate, however, the track is too damn funky so my negativity is short lived. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
elsewhere there’s cut up spiky electro by tapedecks<\/STRONG>, a solid dancefloor filler (despite the tiresome ‘make out fall out make up’<\/EM> vocal loop) by chicken lips <\/STRONG>that’s improves as the music morphs into a chaotic acid house freakout. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
slowing down the vibe in the final section, the ever so cool scandinavian collective, studio, <\/STRONG>let things drift for over 10 minutes in a mass of laid back space age marimba’d up disco funk, after which, hot chip <\/STRONG>brings the party to a close, yet proving they are still very capable of combining their love for classic electro-pop while satiating the demands of the discerning groove addict.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
