Holden back the tears

madonna - get together (james holden remix) (mp3)

this isn’t really the sort of thing you would hear me or mark playing on a saturday night, but i’ve been follwing james holden for quite a while now and feel this is far to special to just pass on. holden has been long envied for his subtle brilliance in the studio,and what’s he’d done here to madonna’s latest surely ranks up there alongside his best work (which is, in my opinion, his epic remix of nathan fake’s “the sky was pink” from 2004). emotional chords, so much texture (the record purposefully pops and crackles in all the right places) and, luckily, just a smidgeon of madonna (two lines is all i can spot), is all lovingly fucked-up into an 8 minute pulse, which i still can’t listen to even a dozen times later without getting goosebumps. i can only imagine what it must sound like in a club at 4.30 in the morning - play it loud, and definitely not on your cheap pc speakers!

Aparently Mad declared in a recent interview that”Holden’s Rmx has got to be the creepiest,wierdest of all remixes ever done for her songs…”
Isn’t that what we are longing for???
Kyno.

hmmm, surely can’t be as creepy as madonna’s crotch being forced in my face everytime i turn on mtv lately, but yes, this remix really is soooooo dark and lovely.

and can i take this chance to apologise for the quite horrible spelling of definitely (definately?!?) that i’ve had left on the page for quite a few days now … there really is no excuse! now fixed …
