Björk’s 1993 Debut album was a lovely piece of left of center-pop music and the tracks fell into the hands of some of the best producers in electronic music for remix work. Check out this lovely moody house re-fix of "Human Behavior" by Underworld. Building and building over 12 minutes, the piano breakdown just over 10 minutes in is well worth the wait.(via Phuturelabs)

After the official release of High Contrast's impressive visuals of "The First Note Is Silent" a few weeks back, surfaces an official remix by co-producer, Tiësto.

Listening to the track just won't do it justice. Obviously not anthem material and definitely not of the banger category because it was made specifically not to be one. Tiësto went out of his way for this one, offering us with a much heavier approach to the track. Deep, mysterious and highlighting more on Underworld's vocals. Quite lengthy compared to the original but a more intimate listen.

Probably the biggest collaboration of the year, an awesome team-up between Welsh drum & bass producer, High Contrast, and UK legends Tiësto and Underworld all together in a single release called "The First Note Is Silent."

After three years in hiding, he unleashes a monster track with three different genres, three different styles and three different outputs to form a perfect force to be reckoned with. Not bad for a come back.

Says Hospital Records:

"The First Note Is Silent" will be the first single from High Contrast new album, which is due out February 2012 on Hospital. The track is a superb demonstration of his ear for a good hook bringing in the talents of stadium trance maestro Tiesto and legendary UK electronic outfit Underworld.
 

Expect soaring, feel-good synths with the uplifting rush of Tiestos trademark trance, euphoric piano keys, pounding drums and yearning polished vocals from Karl Hyde in The First Note Is Silent, gelled together in with the expansive widescreen production for which High Contrast has become known."
