Just listening to a remix of The Arcade Fire‘s best track off The Suburbs, Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) done by Thunderlust. Sped up, get it here or here.
I had iTunes on shuffle today and this song came on. An oldie, but probably one of my favoriate mashups I’ve ever heard. Two different songs meant to be together.
a little bit about the song from the bands’ Jared Van Fleet:
“Massive Mothers” came about because of a Voxtrot remix contest that the spanish site Buffet Libre was hosting. It had been a year since we had mixed, mastered, and released “Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives” and I hadn’t listened to the individual tracks since then. I was curious to see what was there, so I downloaded them, and it was inspiring to hear the song in new ways. Later that night I was listening to “Teardrops” by Massive Attack, and with the remix still on my mind, i couldn’t help but laugh at the idea of a mashup entitled “Massive Mothers”. I stopped laughing long enough to take the two songs apart and start piecing them back together, and this is what i came up with.”
