Flashback Friday.. Muse - 'Muscle Museum' (Soulwax Remix)



Seeing as Muse released their first single from their sixth album, The 2nd Law, this week, I thought I'd give you a bit of a Muse flashback, as I went all uber fan on the 'Madness' post and thought I'd educate (can I call it that? :P) a little!

So keeping with the conventions of 'Madness' and my Flashback Friday feature, here is a vintage Muse track with an electronic twist! Here, I present you with the Soulwax remix of Muse's third single, 'Muscle Museum', taken from their debut album, Showbiz. Showbiz was likened by many a music review to Radiohead back in the day, and in listening to the original song you will find elements of a Muse just waiting to hatch into the beast that they would become! Slightly faster, this remix retains all of that aggression and energy, just pinpointed through a laser and made somewhat more catchy and menacing, and channels drum'n'bass undertones.

This is quite universally considered the best Muse remix within their fanbase, and goes to show that electronic music and Muse have been thrown together rather well in the past, so this may dispell a few of the sceptics of their new direction, although the final results remain to be seen!
