Death From Above

I am a huge fan of any remix by The DFA (which is basically LCD Soundsystem/James Murphy + Timothy Goldsworthy). I’ve managed to buy or download pretty much every remix they’ve done using LimeWire or other methods.

Hence, I was sort of excited, sort of disappointed to see the tracklisting of the DFA remix compilation, chapter one, due out in April:

  1. “Deceptacon” by Le Tigre (own the Le Tigre remix album — which includes two versions)
  2. “Mars, Arizona” by The Blues Explosion (downloaded)
  3. “The Boxer” by The Chemical Brothers (own the “The Boxer” single)
  4. “Another Excuse” by Soulwax (own the single)
  5. “Dance to the Underground” by Radio 4 (own the single)
  6. “Emerge” by Fischerspooner (downloaded, though I really should buy the single since I have every remix from it)
  7. “DARE” by Gorillaz (downloaded — and damn did it take a long time!! this is by far the gem is the album)
  8. “Orange Alert” by Metro Area (downloaded)
  9. “Just Like We (Breakdown)” by Hot Chip (own the supposedly “limited edition” CD single)

At least chapter two, which will supposedly come out in the summer, will include the Nine inch Nails “Hand that Feeds” remix from the “Only” single (one of my favorites) and Goldfrapp’s super-rare “Slide In” (which I have already downloaded, but oh well…).
