crono3 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 http://www.parisdjs.com/index.php/post/Amon-Tobin-Surge Amon Tobin - Surge EP(12"/Digital Single) Ninja Tune ZEN12292/ZENCDS292P, 2011-07-04 Tracklisting : 01. Surge (Album Version) 02. Surge (Two Fingers Mix) 03. Surge (Emika Version) 04. Surge (16Bit Mix) Although it feels almost sacregilious to take a track out of ISAM and release it as a single, we're going to have a go. Surge is one of the short, sweet, standout moments of a remarkable record. Beautiful and mournful, it sounds a little like two lovers being strafed with dark matter. First up on the remix tip is none other than… Amon Tobin himself, who in his more Two Fingers guise, ups the beats and the sub-bass for a satisfyingly heavy experience. Labelmate Emika, a long-time admirer of Amon's work, reinvents the tune as a fragile, almost churchlike experience, her Czech singing delicate but strangely powerful. 16bit take up the last place on the EP turning in a raw, bass-heavy dubstepper which takes us a long way from where we started but in a very satisying way! Nothing too exciting, but I DO love Surge so I'm looking forward to this a little bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crono3 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 All in all, pretty cool! The first half of the Two Fingers Remix is pretty similar to the original, but then deviates pretty wildly. The Emika Version is different in a nice way... And the 16-Bix Remix is awesomely BRUTAL! Digital is only $4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
