The best two records in the world this week

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

I suspect this will be somewhat overshadowed by Justin but I'll post it anyway because of the excitement of Alan Braxe making a trance record! Well, it's a remix of a tune by someone called John Lord Fonda of whom I know nothing about but its a gorgeous filtered French take on proper 90s hands-in-the-air chart trance. Hooray.

Meanwhile you get an ADDITIONAL BONUS TRACK this week. Van She - Kelly doesn't merit its own post because it's already appeared in the podcast, but it's still my favourite record of the year so I thought I'd give it to you in its entirety. It sounds like the soundtrack to a film about Californian teenagers in a mall in 1987. Which of course it is supposed to.

I first heard that Van She track on their MySpace a few months ago, thanks to kittensounds. Impossible to argue with, even though it is the eightiest thing ever.

Actually, what would be even better than either of these would be a remix of the second done in the style of the first. It would probably induce an immediate sugar-coma in anyone hearing it, but there's a place for hyperglycemia in everyone's record collection.

haven't heard this specific

I don't really like the Braxe remix of Kelly. It should by rights be PERFECT - sugar plus more sugar, but its just a bit limp.

I had trouble getting the Braxe yesterday, but got it today. I don't particularly care for the Van She, but the Braxe is lovely.
