Like A Grain Of Sand Lost In Your Storm

I've been listening to GusGus' 2007 album Forever this week, which has prompted today's random half-dozen. 

The selection opens with one of the many remixes of 2011 single Over. This one's a collaboration between Carmine Conte & Matteo Milleri (aka Tale Of Us) and Douglas Benford & Ben 'Benge' Edwards (aka Tennis). 1999 single Ladyshave also gets an external overhaul, this time courtesy of Tim 'Love' Lee
 
Closing proceedings is an excellent live version of Arabian Horse, performed in Reykjavik for KEXP. You can find the full four-song set on YouTube and it's well worth a visit.

We were fortunate enough to have a short visit to Iceland in October 2016, taking in the usual tourist sights in a few days. It seems like forever since we were there, but at the same time certain moments seem like yesterday. A beautiful landscape like nothing I'd ever seen before and totally captivating. Something about the environment also seems to inspire and motivate music to move you or make you move. GusGus is a prime example of this.
