Crystal Castles #2

It’s hard not to succumb to the hype, and since there isn’t anything special going on, here’s Robert Smith’s take on “Not In Love” that has been posted at 392 other blogs already. Hype or not hype, it’s pretty good anyway (though I still prefer Alice’s screaming over anyone else’s).

To make it a bit more interesting, I also chew through a few dozens of Crystal Castles remixes, and finally settled with Dark Sky Symphony’s — one of the very few that are able to capture the essence of their music completely.

@Govy: Oh, thank you! I was so concentrated on not to misspell “Symphony” that I actually didn’t notice I wrote “Dirty” instead of “Dark” :D

Just wanted to say I spent last few days digging through all the pages of your blog and your tastes improves everyday. So much new music found thanks to this blog. The second remix is just so good – youve got real good instinct when picking up solid remixes. Love it. Musigh added to my Google reader.

Not In Love with Robert Smith is fucking amazing. I’ve had this track 2 days and already played it 20+ times. Whew.

I love it when a band I really like is remixed well. This is an incredibly extreme case. Brilliant! Thanks for the post.
