On David Holmes' second disc of _Don't Die Just Yet_ mixes, he offers the track up to the more electronic oriented. Max 404, for his "Optimystic Disco Dub," places the track within a solid 4/4 beat, letting the bass and some atmospheric segments wobble over top. Oddly, though, the track seems to tread water for its running time, Le Funk Mob, on the other hand, pump up the dreamy beats and inject a female vocal sample to help the track drift outwards.

David Holmes' trippy version of _Don't Die Just Yet_ gets some fascinating UK indie rock mixes (via Chemikal Underground) on this first disc. Arab Strap, for their "The Holiday Girl" version, goes mellow, adding in a spoken word over their rolling beat. Mogwai loops their spoken word segment at the start, but their mix hews much more closely to the original. Elsewhere, Holmes, with collaborators Tim Goldsworthy and Richie Firmie, give the track thick bombast with their "Don't Chant Just Yet" mix. Delakota offer a big-beat version that also features a spoken word. Curious.

Wonderful electronic wizardry based on a score by Serge Gainsbourg.
it just sounds like very accomplished acoustic guitar background melodies expertly ported over to a synthesiser.
Funk mob's remix is the best, original score by Serge Gainsbourg is from Serge's most wonderfully written track called cargo culte , the background is just pleasant guitar strumming in a very nice tune over which he summoned the most wonderful bit of poetry about his love for his lost wife who left him because he was childish and pestered her as his main form of attention seeking and communication , ( he was immature or into his 40s).
If you want a translation of the cargo cult lyrics, it's basically talking about indigenous tribesman of Papua New Guinea waving their spears at passing airplanes and things washing up against the Coral of the Guinean coast.
David Holmes expertly uses the background melodies and the guitar strumming from cargo cult and transforms it very tastefully into synthesiser wizardry la Funk mob is a good mix with a luscious bit of trombone over the top.
