Kiss

Daft Punk have been one of my favourite bands ever since I heard 'One More Time'. That's right, not 'Around The World' or 'Da Funk', but 'One More Time'. Okay, so I was late to the party on that one, but hey, better late than never, right? Right? Anyway, here's an MP3 of great beauty for you.

Prince - Kiss (Daft Punk Mix)

These days I get more excited about their Daft Punk's remixes than their original tracks. This mix of Prince's 'Kiss', I got from the delightful Mischief and Mayhem blog. They report it as previously only available on White Label. God bless the internet for bringing us joys that would otherwise be confined to a limited vinyl pressing. Anyway, back to the point. This remix takes the best bits of the original track and throws them onto a stomping electro beat. Little snatches of guitar and vocals here and there preserve the 'recognisability' aspect of the song, but if you ask me, this is pure dancefloor gold.

On a side note, Listening Post have this week published a series of interviews with people in the business talking about album art and how it's changing as everything becomes digitized. They're well worth a read - find them here: 1, 2, 3, 4.

'Til next time...
