RW: Lisztomania

What gives? Posting the remix on a saturday night? Well, some people around here have been working hard on IHYEB’s much deserved new theme.

Someone around here has been hard at work on a new site theme.

Well I was recently re-introduced to French rock/pop band Phoenix through their new album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. I adore this album, and quite frankly I would love to spend an afternoon writing the textual equivalent of a big fat kiss to that album. The first track on the album, Lisztomania, always sweeps me off my feet. Browsing the old iTunes store led me to some remixes, and I just fell into remix heaven.

The number 1 selling remix on iTunes is the “Lisztomania (Classixx Version)”.

Phoenix – Lisztomania (Classixx Version)

I’m not sure I’d say I like it better than the original…

Phoenix – Lisztomania (Original Album Version)

… but the Classixx version has  some pretty good things going for it. I found another amusing version of the irresistible tune on the blogosphere, This one has some nice bass, but I’m not blow away by any measure.

Phoenix – Lisztomania (A Fight for Love / 25hrs A Day Remix)

Maybe I’m picky, but I’m going to stick with the original for now.

I hope your ears like french rock bands. Ω
