jacques lu cont: can do no wrong....defend/refute

"calvin harris" persona is a bit of a step backwards

JOEK

Harris uses an Amiga computer and OctaMED tracker software to make some of his music.

makin it harder to dislike him...

oh, this is him?

i liked "acceptable in the 80s"

no they are not the same person but presumably Harris discovered 'Darkdancer' a couple of years back and figured it might actually work now chart wise.

Tip: listen to the Angello & Ingrosso remix of Justin Timberlake "My Love" and tell me it's not JLC.

I got momentarily scared by the suggestion that Calvin Harris is JLC. It's nice that "Acceptable in the 80s" jacks Madonna rather than other 80s but that's the only nice thing about it and "The Greatest Hit" did that idea better.

Just a quick heads up that you know who has produced the new Seal album, out November 13th. Single out now - not sure what I think of it just yet.

Good Lord.

Not sure how I feel about his remix of D.A.N.C.E - sounds like a match made in heaven but it goes a bit wrong after the first couple of minutes. He's discovered the scuzzy blog house noise and I'm not convinced it's the path he should be going down.

Just listening to the album and it's cheese central. Not impressed.

The Seal album, I mean.

I actually like it. It's like the dreams you have that night after listening to Confessions on a Dancefloor.

i think the dance remix is great

definitely not what i expected, nor the way id have wanted him to go, but im kind of addicted to it.

he's produced the *SEAL* album??

INCOMING! New Zoot Woman

With new - female - band member!

Oh, and also - according to wikipedia (Stuart Price and Killers articles):

"in an interview with Pete Tong on BBC Radio One, Stuart Price confirmed that he would be producing at least part of The Killers' third studio album."

Oh my, yes please!

man that coldplay remix still bangs

Yep.

if jlc must remix indie, i think joanna newsom's voice and melodies would be fucking awesome in an electro setting. also ariel pink!

in response to him remixing COLDPLAY

wish lex was still around to weigh in one the timbaland/onerepublic remix with bun b & lil wayne

so true about coldplay remix. EPIC.

my favorite is still gwen but the remix of 'sex and sun' is cool for being kind of singular w/in his regular style

felix rmx still all-time hall-of-fame.

Dude is producing the Killers album according to 6music right now. My god, I'm suddenly actually looking forward to it.

i'm still enjoying his dance mix of Seal's 'Amazing' - the other Seal album tracks didn't sound so hot

sex and SUNNNNN

if this is for real and not an april fool's joke I fully expect this to be my favorite album of this year.

ITS WHERE I LONG TO BEEEEEEEEEE

jacque lu cont mix of dance is dope as fuckbut i never need to hear the little kid vocals ever again does anybody have a dub/instrumental?

lost classic is the paper faces remix of zoot woman's automatic

i onbly have the vocal mixes. which i love, it's awesome when the kids come back in at like the 7min or so mark

this is the type of move i thought the killers should have done for their second album...they squandered a perfect opportunity to be the one cool rock band you could dance to

if this is true I'm EXCITED

he's producing the keane album too
i laughed when i first heard that but then i heard the amazing (!!!) brian eno produced coldplay track VIVA LA VIDA and i'm really excited now to see if stuart can better it.
actually does anyone reckon viva la vida sounds a more than a bit Lu Cont? he HAS to do a remix of it !!

he's already remixed coldplay once, and that worked out pretty damn fine.

Really looking forward to the new Killers album give this news, and also interested to hear he's behind the new Keane album as I thought their first track off that was really rather good

hes also done the frankmusik album and some of the tracks from the innerpartysystem album

+ 2 new remixes...
Coldplay - Viva La Vida (Thin White Duke Remix)
Frankmusik - 3 Little Words (Paper Faces Remix)

anyone heard these yet?

So what do folks think about "Human"? I completely dismissed it upon initial listen. But this thread has made me listen again a few times and I'm starting to think it may actually capture that Killers+Lu Cont magic.

I don't know about wrong, but those Killers and Keane albums were not terribly right. Methinks Madonna spoiled the guy (both figuratively and literally), but hopefully the guy has spent all his money on equipment, not drugs, and plans to come back swinging. I mean, that "Wrong" remix is OK, but he can do better.

He hasn't done anything particularly good since Confessions on a Dancefloor, although maybe the great Coldplay mix was after that. He had a longer and more prolific purple patch than most though.

great OP
