We’ve featured The Rapture before and if you were checking the site out last November you would have caught the bizarre video for “Sail Away” taken from their third album “In The Grace Of Your Love”. If you haven’t checked it out, go take a look now. I’ll wait…
See what we mean? This track has already become a become a live favourite amongst fans and it’s not hard to see why, it must sound stunning in a live setting. So how do you top it? With an awesome special remix EP of course featuring Aeroplane, Cosmic Kids and Cut Copy.
Each remix brings something different to the track with the Aeroplane mix being closest to the original. Cosmic Kids go for a sparser sound with a funky bass beat whilst Cut Copy mix in a little electronic effect which in places give it an 80′s feel.
My favourite? Got to be the Aeroplane one. I plugged my headphones in, turned it up and yes, rocked out a bit!
I missed the band on their last tour but I’ve discovered they’ve got a couple of dates in May for Oxford and London so hope to get to one of them. After that they’re off to South America, Japan, Australia and Europe and also performing at the Coachella festival, catch them if you get the chance.
