I'll be one of the few people to say that I honestly don't listen to M83 all that much. Yes, I know of M83, but could I name you the most popular tracks? Unfortunately not. That being said, I have noticed a tendency of avid M83 fans proclaiming that M83 tracks should not be touched a la remixes, edits, bootlegs, etc. However, this could be before they have taken a listen to The Knocks remix/cover of M83's "Midnight City". Eliciting the help of vocalist Mandy Lee, The Knocks give "Midnight City" a more upbeat tempo while preserving the unique sound that is expected from M83. The track isn't altered in too drastic of a manner that would possibly offend die-hard M83 fans, yet The Knocks still create something that should garner plenty of respect and plays from many listeners. For an added bonus, I've included the video as well.
