Wombats, The – Moving To New York(Paul Van Dyk Remix)
The second go around for this single so for the review I decided to look at its bsides as they are very compelling. You have superstar/legend Paul van Dyk putting his touches on a hot new indie band. Its just a match-up you do not see very often. It starts off as a relaxing piece of European trance. But, when most of these rock songs get the dance treatment it just doesn’t sound right. I think the work that Paul did on the track was excellent, nice ambient piece of music and some added sounds of New York was nice. The vocals for the song just didn’t fit in well here, maybe a few more effects or something to make them blend a little better. Still, as remixes go and the bar isn’t very high it was worth a spin or two.
