having listened to all the mixes now, except the Ame one which i assume has not been promoed yet... (i'd really like to hear that one...
)
i can safely say its a nice varied set of mixes:
the radio edit is simply the song in it's purest form- short sweet and to the point - suitable for both the clubber and daytimeradio listener, whether it will get much daytime airplay is to be seen....
at 8:57 long, the LP version need not be any longer than the 6:30 it was originally chopped to on pitchfork or where it started out being streamed... the last two minutes are simple noodly ambient noises, nice but don't add anything whatsoever to the track overall - you are not missing anything having only heard the 6 minute version...
the hunteman mix, although showcasing Karl's vocal to better effect is a bit too minimal for my liking...
that said, i prefer the dub which is a bit better, as it sounds deeper and the beats and sounds don't get disrupted by Karl's lyrics... tbh both Hunteman mixes are growing on me with every listen...
the heller remix is actually not what i was expecting and to be honest, and i love PH, is not that good!!! its kinda formulaic and has lots of PH trademark sounds but these appear to be the same sounds he was using about 4 years ago... this mix is nothing like any of his Peggy Sussed mixes which were awesome... shame really because i thought he could have ramped it up on this one... Karl's vocals are clear, but the remix itself is pretty meh... three listens so far have not converted to me to this mix, and this was teh one i was most looking forward to...
i'll leave these to hear when you can - overall i'd score the 5 versions on this CD promo as 7.5/10
best mix - the LP version
