» Ed Banger All Stars remix MGMT

This is very interesting and refreshing. I have to admit… when I heard the original version of this song on MGMT’s album, I thought… I could take it or leave it. But I generally dig what’s going on at Ed Banger records, so I thought I’d check it out.  The harsh electro sound that I typically associate with Ed Banger is completely absent here; replaced with something much more exciting… 70s soft rock influences. I’ve been longing for a meaningful insurgence of 70s FM Gold influences in current popular music for a long time, so this is great to hear.

This remix does seem to have 2 “movements”. The second half is a very nice, but surely unnecessary tag of analog synth arpeggiation that extends the track out to over 10 minutes in length. It’s fine, but hopefully it’ll be it’s own track once this is actually released. For now, check it out at official.fm.
