Fantastic Mr. Fox- Spring Tape 12
Sorry Mr. Fox- your sunny mix was eclipsed by the stylings of Soulwax and Regine Chassagne. There I was, bobbing my head to some funky slap bass when at 32:16 I was catapulted out of my cubicle. “They heard me singing and they told me to stop” Regine sings, and Soulwax unleashes some fabulous sonic grime onto the world. Arcade Fire has always excelled at visual narrative, and Regine's queer, shrill little voice is perfect for the story she tells on Sprawl II. Eliminating the cheesy galloping drumbeat of the original track, Soulwax really brings out the suburban darkness that Arcade Fire had wanted to capture.
