Gang Gang Dance's Eye Contact could very well constitute one of the records of the year so far. In fact I'm sure it does for many of you. We made it one of our recommended records upon review of it. Many people liked it. What concerns us today is that a track from that record, 'MindKilla', has been remixed by none other than Lee 'Scratch' Perry. Bold stuff.
You can get it from here and also download the original from here and watch the video for the track at the bottom of this page.
Before that, here is what both parties had to say on the matter:
Lee "Scratch" Perry:
"I did have a great fun in the studio in Negril (Jamaica) recreating the riddim. The ingeneers and people around also enjoyed the vibes and the great voice of Lizzi. All the blessings for the remix from LSP."
Gang Gang Dance member Brian DeGraw:
"I feel blessed...like ACTUALLY blessed...to have made some form of musical communion with LSP. I think about him a lot in day to day life but never really imagined our paths would cross in any other way. And I really have to give it up for anyone who gets handed a song about fear and turns it into a club banger about eating cops. Perfect."
