Arcade Fire is awesome, and this remix is really nice.

this is a fine job but straight up embarrassing for Prefix to call it a "clear improvement"

The timing is a bit off here between the backbeat and the vocals - otherwise, I like the minimalist approach to this remix

I'm super proud of this remix I made for one of my most favorite bands. This was for the 20 year anniversary of the awesome MERGE records, and all profits go to charity!

http://www.prefixmag.com/reviews/various-artists/score-20-years-of-merge-records-the-remixes/35022/:&lt;/p&gt;"The centerpiece of the record is Jason Forrest's remix of the Arcade Fire's "No Cars Go." The Arcade Fire is the most high-profile band on Merge, and handing over one of the group's iconic tunes to Forrest -- a sample-crazy DJ from the experimental electronica underground who used to brazenly release tunes under the name Donna Summer and runs a label called Cock Rock Disco -- is a bold move. The result is no noise-heavy deconstruction, however; the production on the track is relatively restrained. Forrest retains the song's core structure but fills it out with tasteful electronic flourishes. The track is a clear improvement on the original version, foregrounding the anthemic quality of the Arcade Fire's music without sacrificing the earnestness that has gained them a massive following."
