So I got two new remixes of MSI's "Never Wanted to Dance" and was excited to hear them both. After all, one of my favorite hard tracks from last year was MSI's "Shut Me up".
The first, by Tommie Sunshine (Damn is he prolific), hits all the right notes. As with a lot of electro mixes, the lyrics are left mostly intact, thankfully. The beats are very Tommie, but the MSI sound isn't washed away either. Screaming synths, punky/gothy vocals and a great bass line keep this song really itchy (I just made that up...the song just seems itchy to me. It doesn't mean anything. Don't read into it.). There is a bit of a breakdown about at about 5:30 that brings the song subtly into Marilyn Manson territory. It's the only weak part of the track. Oh, and a good intro and outra if you're spinning this.
This is a 12:30am track, between some Covenant and maybe a White Zombie remix.
The next remix titled the "Spider Dub", isn't bad, just boring. Some remixes become so stripped down, taken apart, mashed around and beaten that they bear no resemblence to the original any longer. This is one of those. 3:30am when either your crowd's so doped they don't care and you want a drink, or when you've had enough and you want em off the dancefloor soon.

I spent all of Friday night hanging with the band after their show here. The show was good.... the music was good... the drinks were good... the pictures are good. I had an amazing time. I loved MSI years ago... and I still have a kick ass time at their shows.
Hope you're well babe! Digging your blog. <3
