lady gaga - judas (goldfrapp remix)

i went all gaga over the röyksopp remix a while ago and i have no idea on how i looked past this remix... no, scratch that. i do the reason, i was to busy hugging the remix from the norweigans so i just ignored all the rest.

but like the röyksopp remix, i discovered this on national radio station p3 and it was in a discussion on remixes. this awesomely weird remix came up when they started to talk about the trend of version that isn't meant directly for the dancefloor (since that's the usual thing for poppy tracks).

goldfrapp's invisioning is dark, slow and slows gaga's vocals down and uses all sorts of reverse vocal techniques to really over-emphasise the quasi-diabolical nature. the lyric lines chosen by goldfrapp is from the bridge and the re-contextualisation works in this sense.

however it is one bit that bugs me is that the four on the floor isn't any heavier, even for the ebm/new beat thing they obviously tried to nail. other than that it's remarkably awesome and this track is worth the second posting of a track.
