Pleq's Good Night remixed
The Glitch remix that opens the ball is a slow and meditative version of Good Night. It sways lightly to and fro, as a lullabye. The subtle tendernes of the original melody is carried all the way through, thus truly living up to the name of the track.
The second remix is the one by norwegian duo Pjusk . This take has a bigger ficus on the resonnance of the original track, and they also add the presence of a string sound – and in these electronic day of age it is not easy to hear if it is a guitar or a manipulated sound. The Pjusk remix is also more present, pushed to the front, for the listener to embrace. The hypnotic lullabye has been replaced by a late night story.
The third remix is by offthesky . This remix has an effect induced introduction, setting it sraight away on a different path than the previous two mixes. But after the first rattling minute, it slows down to a beautiful track you would want to fall asleep to. The slow paced piano sound is though haunted throught with the sharp counterpoints applied at the start, thus reminding us that the gentleness could at any time give way for something unpleasant, keeping us alert.
The last mix is by Philippe Lamy . The track up to this point has drawn the listener up, to the front and kept him on his toes. The final mix is more adventurous than the previous ones. The feel of the track is more varied, more aspects of the sounds explored. I liked the first three tracks more precisely because they dwelled on certain parts of the song, and nourished them. And the beauty of the track has also been lost.
The Good Night remix has three tracks that I would happily recommend for you to listen to. They are very pleasant melodies in these days when the night is longer. I do not have any favourite amongst the first three, and I quite like how the original track is deconstructed in waves. Looking forward to hearing the full-lenghth record.
