Andy Bell Featuring Dot Allison and Michael Rother Remixed

I just posted about Andy Bell, Dot Allison, and Michael Rother covering The Passions on the upcoming new Andy Bell solo record, and the artist has also released a 12" single version of the song featuring extended remixes by Justin Robertson and GLOK.  Check out "I'm in Love...(Justin Robertson's Deadstock 33s Remix)" below (i might actually like it better than the album version) and download the whole thing here from Sonic Cathedral (again, the vinyl is already sold out).

Andy Bell Featuring Dot Allison and Michael Rother

Ride's Andy Bell is prepping his new solo album, "Pinball Wanderer," for release next month, and the first single is a whopper.  Getting a vocal assist from the lovely Dot Allison and a guitar assist from Michael Rother of legendary krautrock band Neu!, the artist covers The Passions' post punk classic "I'm in Love with a German Film Star."  The new version, shortened to just "I'm in Love..." plays like a daydream.  It's wonderful.  Listen below and pre-order the album here from Sonic Cathedral.

(As is wont to happen with most Sonic Cathedral releases, the vinyl is already sold out.)
