OFF THE RECORDS - Gagaism revisited! Three for Lady "Judas": Hurts, Goldfrapp and now Röyksopp

Three for Gaga and Judas for all!
Goldfrapp and Hurts were the first ones to remix Lady Gaga's "Judas" song some weeks ago. More intimate and in slow motion that one by Goldfrapp, more "contro tempo" and didascalic that one by Hurts.
Now even Röyksopp have remixed the pre-last Lady Gaga single...it's the most down to the beat of the trio gone to the Lady's court. Take a listen to the "Röyksopp European Imbecile Remix" below! The track is available to download now in Part 2 of the "Judas (Remixes) EP".

Memories fade

"Memories fade but the scars still linger, I cannot grow, I cannot move, I cannot fell my age, The vice like grip of tension holds me fast, Engulfed by you, What can I do, When history’s my cage... Look foward to a future in the past".
