DOTMUSIC'S REVIEW OF SOMEONE LIKE YOU REMIXES
Released on: Mon 17 Dec 2001
NEW ORDER - 'SOMEONE LIKE YOU (MIXES)' (LONDON)
They've been running the race a long time, consistently sprinting away from the pack, and leaving their contemporaries behind.
The mixes are usually strong, and these two mighty re-workings are no exception. Funk D'Void's mix is a crowning glory to a successful year. It hammers down the thundering beats that seem to throw Sumner's vocal in and out of a wave of distortion.
It brings out a tough edge, but retains the feel of the original by making excellent use of the vocal. James Holden's 'Heavy Dub' rides on a tribal feel with a deep, funky bassline, leaving just enough room for an atmospheric breakdown.
Go ahead and flip, because either side's a winner.
