The latest track from Four Tet's recent album to enjoy the single treatment is 'Sing'. The 12" and digital release gives us the aural pleasure of an extended mix and a rather good remix by man of the moment Floating Points.
Personally not one of my fav tracks (coming in after my favorite song on the album is always gonna be tricky business) but this extended mix has the intro the song needs and misses on the album. Easing you in slowly with a washy vocal and 4x4 beat before the melody kicks in hard. Then its on the home straight for 7 minutes!
Then its the Floating Points remix on the flip side, clocking it at nearly 14 minutes its quite an awesome ride you're in for here. Every last cent of quality is sucked out of the original and repacked, Floating Points style. Like a journey through a distant galaxy, echoing vocals, stabbing synths and the beat not surfacing till 7 minutes in, definatly giving the original a run for its money. Then the outro wouldn't go a miss on a Vangelis soundtrack with squashy and shooting synths producing an epic soundscape. This is a big remix.
