Batido Do Corpo - Amazonas (Fatboy Slim Remix)

Second post, second confession of ignorance: I've never actually paid much attentions to remixes. It has always seemed to me that the main creative act went into the original and the remix was just a kind of appendix. Obviously I kind of knew that that wasn't actually the case but I've never really actually taken the time to really explore it. But a charity called Bottletop recently released a double album of original Brazilian tracks remixed by fairly big names (Bungle; Bonobo; Get Cape, Wear Cape Fly) and there is an absolutely awesome remix of a pretty damned funky original track. The original, by Batido Do Corpo, is all weird vocal noises and stompy rhythm. The remix breaks the track down and builds it up again, adding all sorts of new bits that change it into something else entirely, before a quasi-return to how it all began. You genuinely could study the remix in high-brow classical terms. To get a real sense of it, listen to both tracks back to back - original first.

Now this is a charity track, raising money primarily for sexual health education in South America and Africa so if you do like it please please please buy it from the website or from iTunes. Other retailers are available! (But I don't like them)
