SummersRadio™ New Remix! Underworld - 'Dark And Long' (Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Remix) Well how wonderful it is to find that one of my all time favorite club tunes has just been remixed! Underworld have just released 'Dark And Long' featuring brand new mixes from Christian Smith this week! There are two remixes - the 'Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Remix' and the 'Christian Smith Hypnotica Dub' - and the single is released on Stockholm's Tronic label.
'Dark And Long' first appeared as the opening track on Underworld's epic 'dubnobasswithmyheadman' album in 1993. It was first released as a single in 1994 in the U.K. although surprisingly it peaked at only #57 on the singles chart. It was released on three separate 12" singles and two cd singles in the U.K. featuring a total of five remixes and a couple of edits.
The song later reached a much wider audience when it was featured prominently in the 1996 film 'Trainspotting'. The 'Dark Train' mix is played as Ewan McGregor's character Mark is going through heroin withdrawal - the scene where the baby is crawling on the ceiling and turns it's head around a full 360 degrees like in The Exorcist!
So it's hard to top a classic but Christian Smith punches it up just enough to sound updated without ruining any of the perfect bits - this is the 'Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Mix' of Underworld's 'Dark And Long'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Gaiser!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Gaiser - 'Some Slip'/ 'Elastrik' Jon Gaiser aka Gaiser is a Detroit-born Berlin-based artist/ producer who's just released a new EP called 'Some Slip'. It features two tracks - the original mixes of 'Some Slip' and 'Elastrik' - and is released on Richie Hawtin's M-nus label.
Both are pretty fun tunes - first up is the title track - I think that this one would be great for soundtracking a video montage that features scenes of you and a robot friend going on various rides at an amusement park. This is 'Some Slip'... Enjoy!
And this song would be good for a scene where you and your robot friend are dancing in the club :) This is 'Elastrik'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 'The Death Of You And Me'/ 'The Good Rebel' Oasis' Noel Gallagher has released his first solo single this week! He's named his solo project Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - and his new single 'The Death Of You And Me' was released in the U.K. on Monday.
'The Death Of You And Me' is not an all-conquering monster - but still a decent tune. It's no 'Don't Look Back In Anger' (the first Oasis single to feature Noel on lead vocals) - but you can still certainly hear the Beatles influences. Sales so far this week seem to agree - it's not going to hit number 1 - but it is expected to crack the top 10 on next week's charts. 'The Death Of You And Me' is available as a cd and vinyl single - as well as a download in the U.K. - but it's not even on itunes yet here in Canada!
'The Death Of You And Me' is the first single from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds self titled (sort of) debut album which is due for release on October 17th. This is the video for the song - and it appears to be setting up some sort of story line - something about a mysterious stranger (Noel perhaps?) having a fondness for shagging in old school wagons apparently :) This is 'The Death Of You And Me'... Enjoy!
Naturally I'm going to post the b-side for 'The Death Of You And Me' as well - because SummersRadio™ is cool like that! This is 'The Good Rebel' and like the A-side at first I was kinda meh - but after a couple more listens I was digging the chorus. This is Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 'The Good Rebel'... Enjoy!
'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' will be available in a plethora of formats on October 17th - including on cd, a cd+dvd combo, on vinyl, as a download - and as a cd+dvd+vinyl package - which also gets you the download! Why buy it just once when you can buy it thrice? :)
You can pre-order the package of your choosing here: http://www.noelgallagher.com/store/usd.php
Here's the album cover art for 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds':

SummersRadio™ New Music! Stephin Merritt!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Stephin Merrit! The 6th's - 'Riot In The Sun'/ The Magnetic Fields - 'Take Ecstasy With Me' (Alternate Version)
Stephin Merritt has just released a new collection of largely unreleased material called 'Obscurities' today! 'Obscurities' features 14 rare, out of print, and previously unreleased tracks from Stephin Merritt's solo work (five songs) - as well as from some of his various guises - The 6ths (two), The Gothic Archies (one), Buffalo Roam - which features vocals from Shirley Simms (one) and of course The Magnetic Fields (five songs).
'Obscurities' is fairly evenly split between Merritt's trademark sparse acoustic tunes and his drifty indie synth numbers - this one falling into the latter category. This is the fifth track on 'Obscurities' - from the 6ths - called 'Rot In The Sun' which was first released as the b-side to brilliantly titled 'Heaven In A Black Leather Jacket' single from 1993... Enjoy!
'Take Ecstasy With Me' is a track from The Magnetic Fields album 'Holiday' which was released in 1994. In this alternate version the vocals are sung by longtime contributor Susan Anway instead of Merritt - it first appeared on a compilation in 1999 called 'oh merge' which celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Merge Records label - this is track 12 on 'Obscurities'... Enjoy!
