This French pack here is dope. The whole world should get to know their music. And yes, Phoenix have been heavily remixed, which is a good thing. There's many different and new takes of their fantastic songs. I know that they've been really remixed so much, but it seems like there's a million remixes out there. It's rabid! Don't know if the remixes will ever stop rolling in like hot cakes off the pan, but I don't think I'll tire of them(and the remixes) though they should do more remixes of songs like Rome and Armistice, instead of 1901 and Lisztomania. Anyhow, testament to that, Phoenix decided to commission a release - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Remix Collection) - an eclectic compilation of 15 remixes of their songs by Yacht, Passion Pit, Animal Collective and Friendly Fires just to name a few. It just dawned on me how their album cover is of them dropping bombs, and it seems like they really dropped bombs filled with the best stuff in music.
Small little tidbit. I'm pretty sure many of you guys have heard of Daft Punk. Even I heard of them when I was younger. Band members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, together with Laurent Brancowitz made up Darlin', an indie rock outfit, albeit for a short period. However, things didn't pan out as well and I think they disbanded. This led to Laurent joining up with Phoenix while Guy-Manuel and Thomas made up Daft Punk. Interesting huh.

Phoenix - Fences (Nujax Remix)
Phoenix - Rome (Neighbors feat. Devendra Banhart Remix)
Not your usual remix - it's normally a dancier, more souped up version of a song - but this is slower, remixed down. Really love it.
Phoenix - Love Like A Sunset (Animal Collective Remix)
Phoenix - Love Like A Sunset (Shuttle Remix)
This trippy mix is by Shuttle, who's Nate Donmoyer of Passion Pit. Music is so exciting right now.
