78. MGMT ft. Jim Jones, "Electric Feel (Remix)" (mixtapes)
^^hang on wtf is this
― lex pretend, Sunday, December 14, 2008 5:32 AM (8 hours ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
Another track will be the remix to MGMT's "Electric Feel". Jim Jones said this to GQ.com about it
“They did a show (at United Palace Theater) up in Washington Heights, the initial conversation was just that it was an honor to meet them, I think they're kinna cool. And from there it lead into me saying, It'd be crazy if I remixed "Electric Feel". They were like, Yeah, that would be crazy. So I said, Let me get the beats and shit.

Not sure how it sounds like Gweni? More like YYYs. Would probably be better off sounding like the former.
― beggin-ass keith (The Reverend), Monday, 15 December 2008 05:07 (fifteen years ago) link
See, there's this part where the music explodes into this massive, beautiful wave of like guitars, keyboards and ahhhs. And then Santogold joins in: "I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up..."
That's called a "chorus" and, in this case, it's really gorgeous.

really hard to not see inclusion of Primal Scream, Oasis, Adele, Coldplay and even the KoL and Killers albums on that Clash list as just record label appeasement

Resident Advisor needs to hurry the fuck up and get its lists out. I'm predicting an album win for Shedding The Past and deservedly so, but the singles list always throws up amazing stuff I've never knowingly heard.

the metro area fabric mix bored me as well - actually some of the mixes on the RA list are real head-scratchers. didn't think a great deal of the efdemin one either - my own favourite techno mixes of 08 were probably fuse presents deetron, ellen allien's boogybytes vol 4 and the robert hood fabric which made the RA list. the marcel dettmann one at no 1 was...ok, i guess? i have absolutely no idea what makes it the best mix of the year though.

There's no thread on it but there's a bit of discussion on the dance bobbins thread. It doesn't merit much of a thread because it's difficult to say much about it, but it is very good indeed - reminds me a bit of Selected Ambient Works-era Aphex Twin (both of them) and late period LFO but refracted through a minimal prism.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 December 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link
i never got into the shed album, though i do love 'etrange' or whatever the only track with any actual character is called near the end
i mean i kept hearing how it was like a "journey" or whatever but it wasn't a very exciting one.
― lex pretend, Monday, 15 December 2008 18:59 (fifteen years ago) link
It's a bit too drifty and ambient to be a journey, I don't know why people say that. Most of the tracks just hang there a bit, which I'm fine with but I didn't really think it would be your thing.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 December 2008 19:07 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i don't dislike it or anything but it's just strange that it seemed to be the consensus techno album of the year (anja motherfucking schneider, people - plus i thought catz'n'dogz, the mole and akiko kiyama were far more inventive & effective than shed)
