RW: October Avalanche – At Last Alone
By Cody | October 23, 2008
Welcome to a special Thursday edition of Remix Wednesday. I wanted yesterday to be special all by itself.
So last month before I’d even started thinking about doing this October Avalanche series, I posted a remix of “Since I Left You” (link). This is what inspired me to do this entire series.
So here we are, talking about the final EP the band put out, At Last Alone. Nine tracks, 5 remixes, 4 rare/unreleased.
I’m only going to highlight my favorites today, but true fans will want the entire EP.
2.A Different Feeling (Ernest St. Laurent Remix) (removed 2/13/09)
A much softer version, of the song. This is my favorite way to enjoy this song, and it’s more polished feel comes across nicely, in a way that does not seem to betray the original.
4. Electricity (Dr. Rockit’s Dirty Kiss) (removed 2/13/09)
My favorite remix of Electricity, it reimagines the song in an entirely different way. The remix brings new light to some of the more obtuse sounds hidden in the song, as well as introducing some really cool new sounds. I prefer the original version, but this one is really cool to listen to also.
5. Thank You Caroline (Andy Votel Remix) (removed 2/13/09)
Thank You Caroline is one of the rarer tracks by the Avalanches, (anyone missing the original version can email me) but all the while still one of the best. Thank You Caroline is an original piece of music by The Avalanches, and it blows my mind in it’s simplicity. This remix pays excellent tribute to the late great song, until about halfway where it starts to do it’s own thing.
*~*
Only one week left! I’ll be going over some stuff where The Avalanches did remixes for other bands. It’s going to be great, so come back next week on our usual time (Wednesday).
Until then, don’t get caught in an Avalanche.
