Aaargh! I've listened to it over and over. I can almost pinpoint what the problem is but I lose it at the last second. I think I just don't possess adequate depth of theory to understand and explain it.
Jools Holland mentioned Thea being released this Monday, that does not appear to be the case, Mute website has it listed 17/18 March. I am fairly certain it's a digital only release.
It's a re-creation Again I live another life My imagination Can't cross the borderline
I just stumbled upon the great Under The Curscover versions of (mostly) 80s songs by Twin Shadow. Thus I was full with excitement for his Thea Remix.
So far I don't like any of the officially published ones. It's not that I don't like the electronic/dance remix approach, but they all sound so badly uninspired Euro plastic club trash. :/
Blood Diamond is quite listenable though. Röyksopp or Woodkid could give it a nice spin.
It's probably an Original Mix only track. Which isn't that bad at all.
