Just received my purchase and this is really good stuff!
The Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Mix) is just really outstanding.

Very nice strings and beats. Just loved it.

And also the Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Dub) is an absolute "hammer" record.

This Christmas no Jingle Bells for me! It will be Mr. Brightside all the way.

I know the record from a german movie, called "Kein Ohr Hasen". The remix was at the end of the film. fitted just perfectly.


Rated 5/5

The Thin White Duke mix is, in my opinion, not only superior to the actual original of this tune in every way, but possibly one of the finest remixes of all time. Truly stunning :)

A complete reinvention of what was originally quite a bland affair, his interpretation has such massive cross-genre appeal that any number of DJs from all ends of the musical spectrum could get away with playing it. Simply majestic from start to finish, definitely the high-point of an already illustrious career for Stuart Price.

Jacques Lu Conte's Thin White Duke Mix is simply outstanding. Beautiful strings, excellent structure and retention of the original's best elements all contribute to this gem of a tune.

I just love the subtle, beautiful melody in the breakdown of this track as well.
