Alright so it looks like two bands just fucked and conceived one hell of a remix. Less is definitely more more with this one. Florence + The Machine is basically just a chick named Florence Welch who sings under that "band name." The XX is a London band consisting of four 20 year old musical prodigies. Prodigies? you say... Id think so. After all they took a song and morphed it into their own amazing iterpretation with alot of contrast to Ms. Welch's original version. All the beats and the Male Singing are The XX. Definently a band to check in the future: both their original and remixed songs.

The actual original is a timeless classic from ... The Source feat. Candi Station. There are two versions by the initial artists of which I am familiar with. The first comparable to Massive Attack's emphatic "unfinished sympathy" with it's robust drum beat, dramatic synth, epic piano melodies combined with a powerful vocal. The other is probably more reconised the "original bootleg club mix", the vocal is layered over the sample of Frankie Knuckles and Jamie Principles minimalist but highly evocative "Your Love" bass riff. The covers by Florence and The xx are very good ... for me personally they don't stir up your insides as much as their primal editions.
