Released: March 3rd 2009
Only Ladytron could get away with an EP stuffed full of remixes of the same tune. Especially when the song in question from their latest album, Velocifero, doesn’t strike us as the ultimate dance track. The first to catch our attention is the “Dirty Vegas Club Remix,” which clocks in at 9:15 min and has the honor of being the longest and most boring of the six remixes on the Tomorrow EP. “Port Royal Remix” is far more palatable though still far from making a runaway dance floor hit.
“Vector Lovers Lucky Remix” is furthest from improving upon the original, sounding nothing like it and dragging on in a plodding fashion for over six minutes. Thankfully the “Great Northern Remix” saves the day by infusing some life into the EP and even manages to give an interesting twist to the melancholy sound of “Tomorrow.” Perhaps because Great Northern is a band in its own right instead of a DJ, the male vocals and added harmonies layered on top of Helen‘s unvarying intonation add actual richness to the track.
