Spiral Into The Storm remixes Friendly Fires
We're a bit tardy in gossiping about this, here at the dBP water cooler, but Spiral Into The Storm's recent remix of Friendly Fires' "Kiss Of Life" received a number of great reviews in late 2009.
"Spiral Into The Storm bathes slinky synths in acid, dissolves vocals into halos of breath and light, and nudges quick flourishes from the source material into motifs. It's a pretty extensive overhaul... To SITS's credit, those nine minutes feel pretty action-packed..."
Pitchfork
"Quite frankly, it's one of the better remixes I've heard this year... Very very very good eclectic remix..."
Sundrak
"...keeps you reeled in the whole time."
Trials & Tribulations
"If we weren’t already thoroughly impressed by Luke Solomon's giant 8 minute dreamy disco version of Friendly Fires "Kiss Of Life", Spiral Into The Storm has upped it again with an equally dominating and literal representation. Holding a bit more rumble and thunder than Luke's, Spiral offers up a palatable guitar riff driven version in a monster sized 9 minutes."
Stoney Roads
"Will has taken it upon himself to take this smashing single and turn it on its side, give it a smackdown and add some kick in the pants."
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
"...a monstrous 9 minutes..."
Britpop.com.au
"Solid."
Hot Biscuits
And the remix continues its journey in 2010, with Kissy Sell Out adding flourishes, and airing it on BBC1 as a "Kissy Klub version".
