Chemical Brothers, The - Do It Again

Oliver Huntemann's Remix is utterly boring. There's absolutely nothing to it except for tiring farty electro bassline and pedestrian 4/4 beats. For 7 minutes, it doesn't even go anywhere - just chugs along. I can't help but feel like he just used one of the demo tracks he made one sleepless evening in 1-2 hours and just added samples from the original to remind us the track is actually a remix of Do It Again. The fact that he didn't even apply any effects to vocals or other samples just backs up my theory.

Audion, on the other hand, has delivered a bloody FANTASTIC remake. I'm really thankful that he didn't just copy-paste the vocals on top of his own instrumental. Instead of that, he chopped them up in the most fabulous way and it's really spectacular that you can actually recognize all the samples from the original... but then, it sounds like a totally different track. It's in its own dimension... Very proggy ethereal spacey sound, which is totally different to the feeling of the Chemical Brothers version. Repetitive as it may seem, there's a lot of subtle changes going on throughout 9 minutes and somehow, I never get tired of hearing it. Tracks like this make me realize why so many people like minimal techno. Jaw-droppingly stunning.
