When I first listened to the "Volta" album, this song instantly became an obvious choice for a single to me. You can't escape its catchy lyrics and its wild bass, furious beats and effects. So I was expecting a lot from the remixes to come as I was waiting for my boxset to arrive. The artwork and package of this single turn it into something you can't miss as a collector.
But when I listened to the remixes, I was quite disappointed. The best track here is the original version. The ghostigital remix, unlike the one they did for "Innocence", is rather empty, short and useless. There is nothing from the original except some unbearabale high pitch Björk vocals thrown into the mix. That track goes nowhere and, before you get used to it, is over.
The Matthew Herbert one is big let down compared to the one he did for "Pagan Poetry". He managed to turn the song into something dull, soft, slow and boring.
On the other hand, the accompanying video to the song is another really good work from Michel Gondry and I am pleased to see him working with Björk again.
All in all, this release is OK but not great. Having the same material on both vinyl and CD has no use for me. They could have put some different tracks on each of the formats like the record company used to do in the past.
