La Roux vs. The Twelves

So For a while now I have been following the remix's that the Twelves have been putting out- All started with the Black Kids 'Boyfriend' Remix. But with this latest edition to the remixing duo's portfolio [In for the kill-La Roux (Twelves Remix)] is...well not to the same caliber. I had such high expectations, which is quite normal when you put out a series of stellar tracks, that i was left unsatisfied. The vocal treatment feels like an after thought, almost as if they forgot there were vocals and in a hurry made them fit. So much of 'In for the kill' is about Elly Jackson's sexy and catchy vocals, without them we are left with a roland 80's synth and a simple drum machine- not to say that there is anything wrong with that but they are complimentary, its a chicken and egg scenario.Don't get me wrong i think the Twelves remix is still good but as a standalone reference-less to the original.

Of course i will let you guys decide on the final verdict, as it is definitely possible that i am biased based on my expectations on the Twelves. You can catch them here:
