moneybrother - they're building walls around us

back in 2005 this track hit radio with a bang and i was always on the fence when it came to moneybrother. he had some good songs before this track but nothing that really grabbed me by the lapels and shook one over. i think it was the first time it moved me when i heard it with that snare roll intro and then it goes into this thunderous rhythm along with strings, a synth patch that sort of sound like a tinnitus tone and driving guitars. it really hit me hard but it wasn't until i heard the remix by spånka nkpg when i went down to the recordstore and bought the single.

since the original was already a dancable rock track so translating it onto a house rhythm isn't hard but they didn't just go and take it as it was and slapping a kick under. the remix strips the track down to it's core and reassembles it's parts into a more steady dancefloor fashion. utilizing every genius part from the original into the mix in a great way. but it's not really house since they are using a breakbeat rhythm but it's kind housey kind of breaks. the remix is well recommended folks also.
