LCD Soundsystem: Disco Infiltrator (Francois K Remixes) Vinyl 12"

If James Murphy is so timely, he should be a Scientologist. "All I know-ah, is that Earth was populated by aliens 75 million years ago-ah." On this white label 12", the original LP version is not included, and Francois K's remix sort of misses the point that the original song was at least half-ironic. So after being all "maybe I don't really need this," I go to the b-side and am suddenly totally into the dub version. FK almost completely takes out the vocals and rearranges the track into this ambient slow-boil slithering epic thing, and then I'm opening my wallet.
