Tame Impala - Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind? [12"]


Sometimes, remixes can be very cool and really add something to a song. Sometimes, remixes could've better not been made at all. I'm sorry to say that as far as i'm concerned that's pretty much the case with the remixes on this TAME IMPALA 12". Erol Alkan made a boring club version of the otherwise great tune WHY WON'T YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND? from the Innerspeaker album. What Pilooski did to Lucidity is slightly better, but the annoying squeaks in the beginning of the song really get on my nerves after some time. Luckily after a while they're gone and what's left is decent enough to be called a remix. Still not really my cup of tea though. Don't get me wrong: the band released some other remixes of their songs that are really cool. For example the versions on the Solitude Is Bliss EP, or of course the magnificent Rodd Rundgren remix of Elephant. But these? Nah.
