I’ll Take Care Of You PreOrder

The insistent first single "NY Is Killing Me" from Jamie xx's forthcoming Gil Scott Heron remix album We're New here is easily one of my favorite remixes of 2010. There's something dark and creepy about Jamie's sample based melody intertwined with Gil's pleas "Lord Have Mercy on Me", which comes off in Jamie's surveillance tape video counterpart remarkably well. iTunes doesn't usually get my buck if I know I'm going to be picking up the entire album anyway, but this was an exception. I couldn't wait until February 22nd. That's the date We're New Here will drop in all forms, including a vinyl box set with the full album on a pink heavyweight vinyl, the instrumental version on a green heavyweight vinyl, CDs of both the album and instrumental album, and two limited edition photographic prints. And here's what's kicking me in the ass: it's only 25 pounds and comes with a free mp3 of "NY is killing me" when you pre-order it. Props: FDR.
