To be honest I think the album ‘Human After All’ was pretty much designed to be remixed. The songs are ok on their own… But they really come into their own when they are tweaked a little. I’m basing this mainly on the Alive 2007 shows/album.

Set against a backdrop of 80’s polysynths the extreme 8-bit tune dot’s in and out creating a lovely mellow blend. There are several versions of this song, but I’ve found the instrumental is my favourite, simply because the music is so relaxed and perfect.

I logged on to last.fm this morning to find that there’s a new Edwin Van Cleef mp3 for download - how pleasent! For those of you who’ve never heard of him, Edwin is a British electro-house artist. He has a similar style to Russ Chimes or Futurecop! - influenced highly by the glamour and glitz of disco.

You know Justice, right? Right? If you do then this post will most likely be useless to you, because you will already appreciate what an impact they’ve been making over the last couple of years. If you don’t know them then I am here to help!

Just for those of you that don’t know Justice are at the forefront of the recent wave of a new breed of house music. Primarily consisting of artists from France, the movement is sometimes known as, or referred to as the French Touch. Artists behind this movement, and particularly Justice, fuse elements of electro-house and glitch house with highly saturated synths to create a very abrasive sound.

Time for another installment of the Recommended Music Blog Driving Songs Playlist! Last time I posted one of these I only had rock/metal songs in the list, this time I’ve gone for a different approach. There are still a few rock tunes, but there are also quite a few dance songs too! Either way, every song I’ve included is here because when it comes on in the car it makes me want to drive just that little bit faster ;p
