Time for a quick update and showcase of the remixes in thus far!

We’ve received four mixes so far, and it’s been nice to see the song go into so many decidedly different directions. Here we go.

The first remix (download) came to us from Lacuna Origin, and boy, it’s a slow and heavy one. The melancholy twang of the original takes wonderful a pummeling from the rhythm section.

Number two (download) was quite the departure from the first one. The huge jump from Sweden to Australia seems pretty appropriate, as Very Sharp Knives came to us with a very abstract and glitchy reworking. The guitar is drenched in delays and reverbs, and as for the vocals:

The vocals are still there, and I think they’re audible at high volume, but they have a denoiser set to remove the entire voice part, leaving the weird random beep artifacts, and only mixed in for the choruses.

The third remix (download) was done by Invisible Waves, who make the whole affair sound like your neighbours are really up to no good. Nice ambience from the reversed samples here, and a surprisingly eastern shift in the tonality there, too. I picked up a bit of CMI vibe as well, although I’ve no idea if that’s just me.

The last one so far download) comes from Zha and I guess it was about time we got our dubstep on. I’ve personally been on a huge dubstep kick lately, so this one put a big old smile on my face and a nod in my neck.

Lovely work, you guys. Keep them coming!

Oh, and happy mother’s day, people! We luvs the mums.

Right, we mentioned this on the Band Camp report, but now we can actually go ahead with this. We’re putting the unmixed tracks for an upcoming tune called Revitty online for remixing.

We hesitate to call this a competition, since music is never one, but we’d love to send some swag to the remixes we dig the most. Say, a copy of Atomgrad and a lovely Älymystö t-shirt? Unfortunately we only have XL sizes left, but they make a lovely tent or a stylish nightie! If you’re located in Finland, we’ll throw in a free pass to a gig and will even buy you a beer! We’ll keep this deal open until the end of May.

All this is now within reach!
