Goldroom: "Sweetness Alive" [Future Unlimited Remix]

We've covered Future Unlimited before, but here they're remixing Goldroom - a band hitherto unknown to WKMR - to stunning effect. Nothing wrong with the original, but take a gander at the unreconstructed version over at Goldroom's Soundcloud then come back and tell me this mix doesn't take it to some next shit.

Future Unlimited: "Golden"

The latest breed of new wave-influenced acts (nu wave? neu wave?  Nah, I can't lobby for either of those) have edged steadily closer from using 80's era synths in service of obtuse indie rock to something more accessible and blatantly poptastic... all leading up to the likes of Future Unlimited, who - on the strength of "Golden" - might as well be the next Human League or OMD.  "Golden" can be downloaded for posterity - free, natch - on the group's Bandcamp page, on which their upcoming EP Cloak & Dagger will presumably appear at some point in the near future as well.
