DOWNLOAD: The Duke Spirit - Surrender (Gary Numan Remix)
Though they started their recording careers decades apart from each other, in many ways The Duke Spirit and Gary Numan are kindred spirits. They both seem to enjoy extracting moments of soaring joy out of music that, in any other hands, would sound like doldrums. Maybe it's because of that that they share another characteristic: the ability to take the musical equivalent of pleather and turn it into musical velvet. The sexiness on Numan's remix of The 'Spirit's "Surrender" is unsettling, but in a nice way, like having a dream about ridiculous sex that you in no way can be blamed for because, well, it was a dream.
