Oh, yes. My love for Anoraak just got renewed and I found a new love, the project called sayCeT. Jesus, the remix of Nightdrive with You is just mindblowing. For one, it manages to captures the essence of the original, the vocals and the sound. For two, it’s sooo different. Really, like a different track. This stuff should be impossible. The work on the vocal is amazing. The whole atmosphere got a epic, M83-esque edge. Confusing and sad, the melancholic aspect of the song was pretty much blown up in an intense dream narrative. The original song is about an actual drive at night. The remix is about a dream: a drive on the shore of the ocean, your reflection in the water, shifting between the waves that crash on the rocks, the blurred image on the same two-dimensional space as the sky and the stars. If the GRUM remix is the best for dancefloors, this one is destined to attract the sitting-at-home artistic part of your soul. sayCeT is Pierre Lefeuvre, a composer from Paris who is not obsessed with dance-sounds but the more artistic electro of, for example, Boards of Canada. He works with a VJ and a vocalist to create his production. Check out the original tracks and the Radiohead remix too!
