The Lemur's favourite remixes, part 13

Continuing on the Röyksopp theme and another amazing remix by the Norwegian duo. When I heard Coldplay's fantastic Clocks I was like: "Okay, so when is the Röyksopp remix droppin'?". A remix by Röyksopp seemed inevitable and the circumstances couldn't have been better. The result was one of my favourite remixes. I love what they did to the voice heard in the beginning and in other parts of the track. I love the instrumental parts after the "...yoooouuuu aaare...." bits. I love the "Home... home... where I wanted to go" part towards the end. Some have said the original is better because of the sweet piano in the beginning. Sure, it's a great piano melody, but then you're not paying enough attention to the remix. And the vocals seem to have found an even better, if possible, context. Overall, I think Röyksopp's electropop remix is better than the original, although, sadly enough, SO UNDERRATED as Kele Okereke would have exclaimed.
