Bloc Party - Two More Years
Bloc Party - Two More Years (MSTRKRFT Remix)
I know that we've already had a Bloc Party remix this week, but Two More Years is one of my favourite songs. I like it better than anything on Silent Alarm. This is what I said about it on my Top 22 of 2005 list:
"Bloc Party is great. But sometimes their rhythm section takes over the song and strangles the melody. Not on this song. For me, this song justified the post-punk revival." It was my third favourite song of 2005.
The remix, crafted by normally masterful MSTRKRFT, is a letdown. To me, it seems formulaic and it doesn't serve the song well. Glitchy keyboards and fuzzed-out bass doesn't always improve a song. And they don't keep the glorious, glorious chorus intact.
