FOALS
olympic airways (supermayer and ewan pearson remixes)

Release Date: 15/12/2008

kompakt pop moves forward following the successes of sam taylor-wood and pet shop boys with a strange yet utterly sensible pairing; foals versus kompakt's own ewan pearson and supermayer (aka superpitcher and michael mayer). very limited, 500 only for uk. when they're gone, they're gone!. this isn't some chance remix project - as foals have vocally been long-standing fans of kompakt, it was only natural that kompakt would hear about them and fall for their very unique ability to balance the fine line between the structure of dance music and organic art rock. supermayer do justice to the original turning the song into a '21st century london calling' anthem. the boys toy with the original melodies and chorus
building the song into an elative crescendo. ewan pearson's 'return to the villa of joy remix' is a balearic-y blissful gem that sets a new standard for his already worshipful status as a remixer. percussion swims in a luxurious wash of guitar-harmonics and gorgeous melody
with complete ease.
