Of Montreal vs. MGMT "Amplive Remix"

• Words: Jennifer Marston

Having remixed Radiohead's In Rainbows and jumped through cease and desist hurdles to do so earlier this year, Oakland-based producer Amplive has made a name for himself turning rock numbers into bouncing hip-hop tunes. For his latest project, he looks to the indie-poppers in Of Montreal, pitting the group's "Fabrege Falls for Suggie" against MGMT's "Future Reflections." The result is some bizarre amalgamation of classic rock, hip-hop, and synth-pop that we're feeling here at XLR8R.
