Before we lay Electro City to rest, here’s a complete list of all the tracks in their original order, including track #3 – the final track in our countdown (and the best one, yet). I’ve also included a SoundCloud playlist, so you can enjoy them all back to back.
Track List:
1. Better Than I’ve Ever Been (feat. Kanye West)
2. It’s Going Down (feat. Yung Joc)
3. Piano Man (feat. Timbaland & Animotion)
4. Everybody Walk (feat. Prince & The Time)
5. Toxic (feat. Ludacris & Yael Naim)
(Note: when I say featuring, I mean Pretty Lights sampled their voices from an original song of theirs. For more information, click on one of the individual tracks)
And finally, a little on our final track for our countdown to the New Year, 2011. Just in case you are wondering, track #3 is last because it was my favorite. With one of the best flows to ever hit the remix community, Timbaland tears it up on this Pretty Lights track.
In this remix-mashup, PL samples Timbaland’s “Give It to Me” & Animotion’s pop hit, “Obsession”. I actually noticed that an instrumental in Animotion’s “Obsession” was sampled in Nine Inch Nails “Closer”, that instrumental always defined “Closer” for me. Anyone else ever notice that? Just a little something I found interesting in my research into these 5 set of songs.
One thing I’ve also been wondering is why PL never released these tracks, officially. Whatever the case may be, these are some of his nastiest. I don’t hear many PL tracks with pop music, and as much as I love his regular shit, PL pulled off the pop thing well.
Hope you enjoyed our best EP to never be released by Pretty Lights and our countdown to NYE. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.
