Recorded at Ridge Farm Studios in Dorking, and released on September 26th, 1980, 'Enola Gay' was the only single from the band's second studio album, Organisation. Listen to Hot Chip's remix of Enola Gay HERE It's already a perfect song, so this is just a tribute and an homage, made all the more meaningful with the occurrence this year of the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombs on Japan. Of the remix, Al comments, 'Getting your hands on the raw material of 'Enola Gay' feels like stealing into hallowed halls.
The single has also received a sublime, hypnotic remix from Hot Chip's Al Doyle, out today. The band has also unveiled a special new and enhanced HD version of the original 'Enola Gay' video - watch here. The digital version is available to purchase today, and pre-orders for the 12' colored vinyl are available now HERE. The second is a slowed down, chilled out rework that is far removed from the original but remains undeniably glorious. One extended mix uses the original master multi-track, which sounds like the 12' version that never was, but should have been released in 1980. The release features two brand new mixes of the track by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys.
