Okay, I'm going to come clean with you guys. In my opinion, the A-Trak remix should be in this bout for the WhoDIB? title, but I'd like to overlook that, and turn your attention to these other remixes of Heads Will Roll, which have both sadly received little attention. The two tracks in question are from Little Vampire (taking advantage of the Twilight craze?) and James Iha.
Little Vampire's remix starts off with a simple gated synth, then has some galloping distorted bass thrown into the mix. It then, gradually but surely, kicks into a chorus that is layered with chords, several synths and drum beats. Little Vampire's take on Heads Will Roll is great in that it barely stops for a rest. Great.
James Iha kicks his remix off with a nifty little panning effect, with added sparkle. This is just a prelude to the track itself. The whole remix is polished, handled with aplomb and ease, and has an abundance of twinkles, piano, trumpet, orchestral strings, and congos. It simply is lovely, charming and wonderfully upbeat. I'm in love.
WhoDIB? Little Vampire or James Iha?
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (Little Vampire Remix)
James Iha. I might even go as far as to say it's better than A-Trak's remix.
