Inspiral Carpets prep ‘The Complete Singles’ (listen to The Go! Team remix of “This is How it Feels”)
Manchester vets Inspiral Carpets will release new compilation The Complete Singles on March 17 via Mute/BMG. It's the first time that all of the band's singles -- including such UK hits "This is How it Feels," "Dragging Me Down," "Saturn Five," and "I Want You" (featuring Mark E Smith) -- have all been on one album and remastered. The release coincides with the band's UK spring tour and those dates are listed below.
The CD version comes with a bonus disc of classic and new remixes by Fortran 5, Justin Robinson, Paul Van Dyk, Mike Pickering, and more. We've got the premiere of The Go! Team's remix of "This is How it Feels" which give the song more of a carnival disco feel. “This is one of my favourite Inspirals remixes," says keyboardist Clint Boon. "Relatively faithful to the original but with lashings of all the magical elements we love about The Go! Team. I reckon the spirit of Joe Meek was in the studio when The Go! Team did this remix!”
Listen to that remix, watch the video for the original and check out The Complete Singles' artwork and tracklist, below.
The Go! Team release new album The Get Up Sequences Pt 2 this week.
