The Killers Remixes

Unless you've been living under a rock-music-proof rock for the last three years, you will already have heard of The Killers. Unless, that is, you are reading this from one of those countries where the band haven't taken off (you never know who could be reading this!) Anyway, the point is, there really isn't very much I can say about this band that hasn't been said already - The Killers are from Las Vegas, released their debut album Hot Fuss in summer 2004 to critical acclaim, and the album went 4x Platinum, released the disappointing follow-up, Sam's Town in 2006. etc etc.

What you may or may not know is that the band have actually amassed a few decent remixes from the single releases of these two albums, by names such as Jacques Lu Cont (aka Stuart Price), Tiga and Mylo. Fair to say quite a bit of money must have been thrown at the band! I won't be bringing you the Mylo mix of Somebody Told Me today, because it's more-or-less an extended version of the original, and I'm sure you have other means of finding it if you so wish. However, here are a few of their other remixes.

The Tiga remix of 'Bones' is nice and concise at under four minutes long and sounds exactly as you'd expect a Tiga remix of The Killers to sound - like a Tiga song with Brandon Flowers singing over it. This is a good thing.

The Gabriel Dresden remix of new single Read My Mind sounds much like you'd expect a Jacques Lu Cont mix to sound, in fact - It's a 'dance song' obviously intended for clubs and as such is almost 8 minutes long, but still has 'guitarey' elements in as well. Like all the best remixes, it has lots of vocal action going on as well.
