Scanners

I’m usually a pretty tough critic on remixes of the Scanners. They’re one band I don’t want to hear people fucking with. But Blamma! Blamma! just dropped this remix, and it’s kinda exciting. Ok, it doesn’t do much for me until the vocals kick in… but then it takes off and mixed with the vocoder stuff it’s pretty damn good. Once the vocals drop out it kinda gets lost again — but I guess my complaints could get mixed out in the middle of a set. Definitely a nice break from all the obvious bangers…

“Lowlife” is on my top ten all time favorite list. Anyway. LA Riots’ remix has been getting a lot of blog play. This remix is pretty straight forward… but it does the original proud by not getting too far off the path. Of course the original is the most perfect song ever and you could play it backwards and it’d still be good. So it’d be tough to fuck this one up… but still. Good stuff:

I understand why you don’t want peeps screwing with Scanners. They’re quite extraordinary in the raw. The LA Riots mix does rock tho.

What about the YA Rebel Rockers mix? That’s gotta be my favorite of all time.
