I’m sure we’ll all agree that the latest album effort from the Basildon boys isn’t exactly their finest moment. However, there are a few exceptions. The latest single, Fragile Tension, being one of them. It wasn’t great – but it was rather good. But when one of my absolute favorite producers/remixers gets his hands on it – it’s nothing short of brilliant. Stunning, in fact!

   Hey guys, glad to see that DM’s still causing a stir – and happy to see the activity on this post.

   I agree with Alexandre – it IS possibly the best DM remix in ages. In fact, in my humble opinion, all the Fragile Tension remixes are far much better than the usual minimal crap they seem to end up with.

   Make sure you catch up with them – especially the other Kris Menace remix and not least the Peter, Bjorn and John one. Really cool.

   Cat you guys later! /Cc

     To be fair – there’s been a handful of really great remixes as well the past few year – not only minimal nonsense, but still… ;)

   I beg to differ on the SOTU issue.
   Quite agree on the FT one though. ;)

   Saw the boys last nite here in Sweden. They’ve thrown out some 4 tracks from SOTU from the setlist. Wonder why…

   All for the better tho – magnificent show. They’re back to their splendid selves, after a rather uninspired first leg of the tour mid 2009.
