I am constantly astounded at how few decent Cut Copy remixes there are out there. Everytime I listen to one of their albums, all I hear is non stop remix gold and I really think that only a couple of remixers have done these tracks justice.
Andrew Weatherall is one such remixer with his recent take on epic 'Zonoscope' closer 'Sun God'.
I wouldn't expect any less from such a legend, but what he has done with this track is really quite good.
The slow, spacey grandeur of the original has been faithfully retained, but the introduction of some slow, rolling bass and sassy throwback guitar licks really freshens up proceedings.. Heartily recommended:
Cut Copy - Sun God (Andrew Weatherall Remix)
If you haven't come across much of Andrew Weatherall's stuff in the past, then I suggest you get your ass schooled.. You can start with these two tracks.. Look out for the deliciously slow BPM's and syrupy, rolling and somehow profound bass:
Locussolus - Gunship (Andrew Weatherall Dub)
Happy Mondays - Hallelujah (Andrew Weatherall Remix)
(Notice as well how modern/recent the Happy Mondays remix sounds.. It was actually made in '89)
Nearly Christmas!
