New Arcade Fire - "Black Mirror (team9 Remix)"

Want your Neon Bible with a little more, neon? Mix master team9 -- he of MySplice fame -- takes a go at it. He says:

I love the Neon Bible album but always felt that the cover art was a little decieving. Ok, so it's a neon sign, so there's the tie in but to me it looks like it should house something a little more electronic. Anyway, I got my grubby mits on the vocal to 'Black Mirror' and thought it might be an opportunity to address my concerns. Will I ever learn??

The results are, as you'd expect, like Win Butler fronting Justice.

Arcade Fire - "Black Mirror (team9 Remix)" (MP3)

Not bad, but that's not surprising (Bibles and †s go well together!). Hit team9's site and find more of his adventures in bastard pop, featuring the Go Team! Mary J., Stevie Wonder, etc.

He got his grubby mits on the vocals by taking them from the arcadefire.net remix contest (found here: http://forums.arcadefire.net/viewtopic.php?id=14240).

There's already a MUCH better remix by Andrew Maury from this contest:

I like it. The other mixes mentioned on this page aren't as good as they think they are.

Love the concept of remixing Neon Bible but this mix isn't that great.

the Andrew Maury mix is fantastic, thanks for the link. I'd love to see more of arcade fire redone in an electronic fashion - a lot of stuff from neon bible could work pretty well. Hope maybe we'll see a remix album someday
