Colossal Spin

[Fresh new remix:] This intense industrial dance floor remix will cause you to scream in ecstasy, cut yourself, pump your fists and move like hell. Killing your Jezebel soul has never been harder. She will make you FEEL, boys and girls. Jezebel rises again in the 21st century.

REMIX: The most quintessential CSpin song of all time, remixed for optimal put-your-top-down-and-your-bass-up blasting.

Ultraviolet was written in 15 minutes in 1997 while Zurich was waiting for pr0n or something to finish downloading (it was dial-up back then, remember?). It was during the height of the band’s aggressive East coast gigging and late-night studio sessions, and we like to think that he was just in the zone. Some other amazing songs were written that week, too, but those never saw the inside of a recording booth due to various touring pressures.

Anyway, this song was a blast to play live, too—if the bassist could just remember to drop the tuning on his E string. Really… was that so hard to remember, Paul?

This particular version was remixed in 1999 from the original 4 track cassette demo, and released on a Ballistic Test compilation CD by Flaming Fish Records.

Here’s a track that’s a pure sonic-blender of sweetness and dark.

I love the aural epic-ness of this tune. It’s so big and crunchy, yet somehow accessible. Maybe. Sort of. To the right kinds of people I guess. Ok, maybe I’m the only one that likes it (but it’s pretty much the only CS song I like).

First released on some indie label compliation somewhere in 1998. This remix actually came out a few years before the original song, which was released on the Dueling Suzis album in 2000.

The most recent official release of this remix was on our subTxt: Singles and B-Sides album in 2001.
