A nice limited 7" like we know them from quality label Sonic Cathedral. The bands on this split 7" are both featured with a remix of the other band's song. So on the A-side there's MAPS with their song To The Sky, in the M83 mix. While the original version is more uptempo, it has become quite an anthem here that starts off all quiet with just an organ and vocals, before epic drums roll in. Totally M83-style.
The version that Maps made of M83's We Own The Sky on the B-side is totally different from the original as well. First it sounds like they used a metronome for additional beats, but later on there's more variety. Still not really my cup of tea, this remix. I miss the bombastic grandeur of the original and this version just makes me a little nervous. But hey, that's me. Despite all of that, a really good A-side plus a remix of an M83 song that can't be found anywhere else. So a welcome addition to my collection.
