Phoenix Releases Multitracks

Make your own remixes

This is really cool, and I hope more and more bands do this. As a thank-you gift for their success following the release of their latest album, Phoenix is giving away the complete multitrack recordings for their breakout album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The message is clear: Make your own remixes.

I just downloaded “Lisztomania” (zip), which contains 11 stems: bass, beat, brass, cocotte, guitar1, guitar2, guitar3, key, motif, trident, and vox. Don’t you wish you could get at this for all your favorite albums? Imagine being able to turn down (or off) the sax in “Whatever Gets You Through the Night.”

Now they’ve got their own label (distributed by Sony) and a new song, which never really achieves the catchy pop perfection of my two favorite songs, it’s cut from the same cloth. With lyrics about young gay Republicans and breast implants. Or something.

Full press release after the jump…

Of course no one needed to hear a remix of one of rock’s most perfect songs. But the Stones are in business, and “Sympathy” is a commodity. Instead of gnashing teeth over the validity of the act, save that energy for an analysis of the result. Or just read ours.
