Health – Die Slow (Tobacco Remix) Review
If I were a DJ, there would be some tracks you just have to stay away from remixing. Health’s Die Slow would be one of them – I love the song but the song is both intricate with noise goodness yet danceable at the same time. Where does one improve it? To me that song has very few flaws, if any.Remixes/covers should be better then the original and 90% of the time they don’t hence they suck. It takes a skilled person to do a good cover/remix and yeah I’m not really sold on Tobacco’s Die Slow remix. They do try to do something differently at least. A lot of remixes are the identical song but just faster with more bass, Tobacco’s remix is fundamentally different and while that deserve a pat on the back, how much will I listen to the remix anyway? The remix is actually less dancier and slows down the pace of the original. Just showing me more proof, don’t touch a song that is A) Totally fucking awesome B) Still coming out on an album yet to be released.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Not to discredit’s Tobacco’s work on this track but the original outshines probably any remix that would come out of this. (Be sure to check out the original) As good as the remix is, it’s a pass for me.
