the new robbie williams album rudebox bites, but the remixes are killer!

so the new robbie williams album rudebox has leaked on the net and after giving it a listen, i have to be honest and say that it's not very good. i don't know what happened especially since this album was supposed to just be about having fun retro/electro style (even the collborations with the pet shop boys are painful and dated). needless to say, i was a bit bummed...

so it was a nice surprise when the guys over at ill-ec-tro-nic and blk:mrkt posted the awesome soulwax dub remix of robbie's latest single "lovelight". not only is it kicking with one of the best buildups i've heard in ages, but it improves on the album version by a thousand fold. while on a dance kick, i also found another remix, this time by the hot german remixer kurd maverick. enjoy these remixes... i sure have!

oh! and check out the original version of lovelight by lewis taylor that just rocks eons over robbie's cover. go and buy lewis' album too, the guy is super talented and deserves to be heard!
