Friendly Fires - Paris mp3 download

Utchanat

Fancy a remix that is actually more like a cover, and surpassing the original? Fancy a sultry female voice (Au Revoir Simone's) replacing the initial laddish male chant? Fancy some time-travel music machine stuck exactly between the early 90s golden age of UK rave-synthpop (the first half of the "remix", directly connecting to Saint-Etienne circa '90-'91 ; the better bits of Creation's legendary "Keeping The Faith" compilation ie Hypnotone, Fluke et al ; or Marina Van Rooy's mighty "Sly One") and the mid-00s progressive indie-trance (the second half, reminiscent of Kompakt or Border Community's hands-in-the-air digital saturation around 2005).Well you can find all this and a lot more in Aeroplane's wonderful take on Friendly Fire's "Paris", one of the genius girl-dance songs of the 00's era that balances between detachment, emotion and grandeur, like a carefree chic, cute and Cristal-drunk Parisian girl poppin bonbons while dancing and dreaming and watching the city lights from a party on 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower. Magnificient.
