Re: (313) Coldplay/Kraftwerk (again)
I found the Kevorkian Remix on Bit Torrent, along with a Thin White Duke remix. The Kevorkian remix is OK, but verging on the trancey, and the string of anti-trance garlic around my neck began to smoke a bit. Not horrible, but trancey in the way that a trance DJ might play it out. Meaning if I played it, I'd lose whatever shred of street cred I still possess. The Thin White Duke Remix was more banging, and I actually like it a lot, except for the occasional Hands in the Air snare build up. I get the impression that Jacques Du Cont is a really talented producer, but he did a bit of pandering to shift units to crackhead teeny DJ dudes who think Progressive is, like, progressive. Actually you could take this mix and edit out the embarrassing moments, and have yourself a hell of a track. I guess Du Cont has worked with Madonna, as well, the latest in her campaign of glomming onto club artists to stay au courant. I can't help but imagine that working with Madonna would have a bit of the dominatrix vibe. But hey if she comes round my block with her ice cream truck full of cash looking for beats, I'd tumble for her... On 2/17/06, Derek Plaslaiko.

Re: (313) Coldplay/Kraftwerk (again)
Actually the Francois K and Junkie XL mixes have been out for a while. Junkie XL was my favorite, but the new mix by Thin White Duke is the bangger. The Dave Aude mix is your usual California dubby house track that he is famous for, not my cup of tea but worth checking out if you like that kind of stuff.

Coldplay's new single is based on a Kraftwerk song. And some of the remixes of the new Coldplay single are remixed by Francois K, who has remixed many Kraftwerk singles. Talk (pardon the pun) about coming full circle, eh? I wonder if this is a coincidence, or they and/or the record company wanted a remixer who had remixed Kraftwerk to remix this Coldplay-riffing- on-Kraftwerk song?

(313) coldplay / kraftwerk
coldplay kraftwerk are both on emi and yes it was authorised etc. i'm not much of a coldplay fan, apart from 'don't ask' (obvious i know, but a really pretty song with lovely guitars) but i was kind of stunned at how clumsy their interpretation of the melody from 'computer love' is. it just sounds wrong, too complex and convoluted in the context they use it in. perhaps it would have been better to use a shorter part and not to try force it where it doesn't really fit. whatever. philski

Re: (313) coldplay / kraftwerk
I presume we are talking about Coldplay - Talk ? I really like the Francois K Dub. Very very good reinterpretation with minimal vocal interruptions.
