A slightly warmer Cave


I think I may have written about Cold Cave before, but i can't really remember. if not, i should have, as their last album, Love Comes Close, was good. One of the stand out tracks from the album, Life Magazine, has since been subjected to the remix treatment on multiple occasions, each new version being accompanied by exclusive artwork. The remixes are set to appear together on an EP released on June 8th, but one such remix that hasn't found its way on there is this one by Spanish group Delorean. It also happens to be my favourite of the reworkings done so far, which includes the one by Pantha du Prince, a previous favourite of mine. Delorean strip away the gothic edge that pervades all of Cold Cave's tracks, along with the high drama of the vocals and synths, transforming it into a suitably summery, Balearic-tinged shimmering pop number.
