Word on the Internet: Massive Attack‘s new album, Heligoland, was released February 9. I first heard the remix of “Paradise Circus” featuring Hope Sandoval by Gui Boratto. This is a nice remix but it doesn’t stray too far from the original. It’s a little eerier and the original is a little dreamier, if that makes any sense. The remix has guitar and eliminates some of the loud clapping that is in the original. But I like that clapping. I feel like it gives the song a stronger structure.
Hope Sandoval has an extremely sexy voice in this song. I was pretty surprised to discover she’s in her forties. Don’t mean to offend anyone with that comment but I totally expected this voice to belong to a younger lady.
I also listened to another song on the album, “Babel” featuring Martina Topley-Bird. I must say, I’m very excited to hear the rest of this soft electro masterpiece.
For now, here’s the remix by Gui Boratto.
