‘Dresden’, the forthcoming second single from OMD’s recently-released LP English Electric has been given the remix treatment by John Foxx. The original is a swaying new wave track that harks back to the band’s 80s output, and this gets bolstered in the remix with a pounding dance beat and harsher synth sounds – have a listen below:
Says John Foxx of the remix: "OMG! – its OMD! – The Maths have gone exponential. Channelling the spirit of J.G. Ballard via Joe Meek’s ‘Ghost Riders In The Sky’, here comes Foxxy with a toxic takeaway delivered by Benge on a burning Buchla. A strangled tango for mangled minds in tangled times."
The single, released on May 27 via 100% Records, will include B-side ‘Time Burns’, in addition to remixes by Mike Jolly and Bounce Darkside, while the iTunes bundle comes with a reworking by Zebra and Snake.
