Notes
A compilation of remakes, remixes and collaborations.
"All the remixes take their material from the 'Quiet is the New Loud' sessions. They were recorded at Parr Street Studios by Ken Nelson, except where otherwise stated. The remixers add their own noises, but we can't tell you where they got them from. All songs written by Eirik Glambek Bøe and Erlend Øye and published by BMG Music Publishing Ltd., except for 'Gold For The Price Of Silver', written by Tore Kroknes, Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe. Published by BMG Music Publishing/ Copyright Control.
Furthermore, we find it very inspiring to be in big, empty office buildings at night. If you have access to one of these (maybe you're a nightwatch), do invite us if we play a show in your town.
Try this record in a car stereo."

Reviews
- Edited 19 years agoThe Kings of Convenience's QUIET IS THE NEW LOUD a worked over on VERSUS, with decidedly mixed resuilts. Royksopp gets the album off to a good start with their mid-tempo mix of "I Don't Know What I Can Save You From," while Four Tet does their abstract thing on "The Weight of My Words" (with both the vocal and the instrumental versions). "The Girl from Back Then" receives a lounge-y remix courtesy of Riton, but the standout on the album is their collaboration with Erot, "Gold for the Price of Silver," a downtempo track that glimmers with all the precious metals you can think of. Evil Tordivel transforms "Leaning Against the Wall" into a tropical Copacabana-band arrangement. A few of the remixers aren't able to really improve on the originals, so they simply add instruments, like the strings on "Toxic Girl" or the percussion and feedback guitar that drown out everything on Alfie's take on "Failure." That isn't true, however, of Ladytron's mix of "Little Kids," which opts for dark and shimmery new wave. Overall, VERSUS is great companion piece to the album.
