four to the floor
a friend turned me on to a few great tracks thursday night. so far my favorite is a thin white duke remix of four to the floor by starsailor (who the fuck is that?). don't know how it's possible i hadn't heard this before, given rmd's penchant for playing/posting jlc tracks.
great foundation despite the mildly irritating voice of the singer (i suppose most singers' voices become irritating after listening to the same track about 20 times in a row, otis redding excluded). not as complex as jlc's more recent work (see lose control, what else is there?), but more immediately accessible and danceable as a result. i think a recent dissensus thread was titled 'four to the floor ... my obsession' or something along those lines. the poster wasn't referring to this track, but i wouldn't blame him if he was.
the above link contains the remix on the cd single. there appears to be a longer 12" version that i would love to hear if anyone wants to ysi it.

COMMENTS:
said: here's the long version. i seem to remember a lot of disussion on ilm about this track, and how it highlighted jlc's abiilty's to redeem just about anything. haven't heard the original though, so i can't really comment.
said: also, i just realized that this remix reminds me a whole hell of a lot of a slowed down, smoothed out version of his avalon remix.
said: thanks for the long version... i was also thinking this reminded me a little bit of avalon... specifically because of the 3 note background synth loop (i think it's 4 notes in avalon) that serves as a metronome and becomes gradually more pronounced as the beat gets stronger.
