Today is the release of the EQUINOXE INFINITY EP. I am super happy to be able to share the wonderful mixes by Tale Of Us Jonas Rathsman and Perturbator with you today. Remember that this is a release to support Record Store Day. A limited number of 12“ are available tomorrow at your independent record store of choice. Full list on Record Store Day
Tale Of Us drop the long-awaited remix for ‘If The Wind Could Speak’
Jean-Michel Jarre ‘If The Wind Could Speak’ from Equinoxe Infinity receives stunning remix by Afterlife's bosses Tale Of Us.
After the release of Jean-Michel Jarre‘s Equinoxe Infinity album, Jarre returns with a three-track remix pack. The EP sharpens three highlights of the album into deadly club tools.
Tale Of Us remix of ‘If The Wind Could Speak’ is the EP kicks off track. Already begun a milestone into the duo’s set, the duo has turned the record from a minute-and-a-half long interlude into a dance floor anthem with symphonic swells and unforgettable melodies. Played on almost every Tale Of Us’ performance in the last months, the remix firstly appeared for public streaming on Afterlife Voyage 013. The remix, already supported by Adriatique, Richie Hawtin and Carl Craig is set to become one of the biggest dance floor hits of the year.
There are not only Tale Of Us; Jonas Rathsman joins the Italian duo remixing ‘Don’t Look Back’. The Swedish producer highlights the tension and mood of Jarre’s composition, folding its drama into well-timed chord stabs.
Last but not least, Perturbator closes this fantastic EP delivering his remix of ‘All That You Leave Behind’. The French synth artist and former black metal musician rub Jarre’s textures raw for a tougher, grittier and punkier version.
Even if the three remixes are way different from the Equinoxe Infinity album, we suggest a listen to it for a complete musical experience.
Equinoxe Infinity Remix EP is available today for streaming and download. It includes the Tale Of Us remix of ‘If The Wind Could Speak’. The limited to 1300 units 12” is a record store day exclusive, out tomorrow April 13th.

The @astralwerksrecords Vinyl is now sold out. Thanks for your support! Looks like the @taleofus remix is a big favorite with DJs - what’s yours and why?

Thank you for posting this, I was getting that stupid error.
I don't think they're bad, but they all sound very similar to each other
I was expecting a bit more variety with the choice of remixes (like in the Electronica Project Remix EPs).

It's always regretful when JMJ is clearly forced to go with what the record company wants.
(Though this one still isn't as dire as "Oh yeah, the Dadwater remasters suck, we're gonna make better ones" -> WHOOPS, more Dadwater remasters)
As JMJ remixes, I don't like them. On their own they're alright.

So much clicheed negativity. Why bother listening to remixes if what you want is just the original?
Jonas Rathsman's "Don't Look Back" is a good one. Very much in the flow of the original, expanding into similar but new landscapes. Great track when cycling.
Tale of Us' "If the Wind Could Speak" is of course very different from the original, but not without a link in the structure of the "chanting". Anyway this is a compelling dance floor piece.
Perturbatur's "All That You Leave Behind" isn't my favorite of the three, but there is an interesting gothic vampire mood going on that fits the title and elements of the track.

I absolutely adore Perturbator, but this remix as a remix... Eh? No, it's a fun track, but has nothing to do with the original. Same for the others.

I remember him saying that he does want good remasters, but that it's the studios final call. At which point I have to ask, why bother with them in that case?

Actually Perturbator's "remix" at least quotes a longer part of the original track (granted, only in the intro and outro and those seem forced, but at least they sound interesting). Tale of us remix merely quotes a chord progression in the break (also forced); take away the JMJ samples from "Don't look back" remix and it will still sound pretty much the same. Waste of time, as predicted.
Tale Of Us remix: Slam/10 (Slam=the worst remix)
Perturbator remix: Gat Decor/10 (good band, bad remix)
Jonas Rathsman remix: Praga Kahn/10 (at least it has most of the original)
