björk wanderlust : ratatat remix

   Björk – Wanderlust (Ratatat Remix).mp3

Björk has a new remix EP out soon. I have listened to these tracks and Ratatat’s is, in my opinion, far superior the messy array of Volta remixes that have precluded it. Dare I say, this remix may be more entertaining than the original. Ratatat is really making a name for themselves these days.

Post Scriptum: I was discussing why I enjoyed this version more than the original with a friend and I think it really comes down to the overall balance of the song. The general feel (mastering) of the original has her voice so prominent in the foreground that the supporting brass and electronic beats are lost in a haze of excessive vocal reverb. Ratatat simplifies everything putting her voice on a level playing field with the beat and guitar noodling.
