Pendulum - Crush (Devin Townsend Remix)

Devin literally just turned it into a DT track. This is astounding.

[@todgerino3475]

This is fantastic, been saying it all my life but Devin Townsend is a musical genius and is CRIMINALLY underrated. HeavyDevy4life

[@TheMeh115]

I agree with this comment on a near-spiritual level.

[@xagtrpo83351]

He is certainly my favourite musician of all time. Though O greatly and deeply appreciate that, on his "An evening with Devin" tour. The attendance was intimate in a smallish venue where I got a seat in the 3rd row. His following is cult like and pure and that's perfect.

[@BigPapaJustify]

The following might be cult like, but it's in no way small. ''underrated'' is the furthest from the truth xD. Definitely not overrated, but he's got respect and fans from all corners of the music industry and he deserves it.

[@rec-tte]

[[O

[@Elfcheg]

True. Absolutely underrated

[@maxbrosig8986]

Pendulum x Townsend? This is the best remix of a Pendulum song period. Fucking genius, made one of the best songs on Immersion even better.

[@robindreier9796]

Listen to his song Save our Now..its basically Devins cover of The Island with new lyrics lol.

[@Scynthor]

HMMM CELLDWELLER'S PROPANE NIGHTMARES

[@Art1stical]

After taking a read at the comments, I'll write my two cents regarding this remix and why i think it's the best in the album. While it's undeniable the whole Reworks album is a very solid compilation of remixes by great artists, all of them remixing one of the greats of music, Pendulum, what Devin Townsend achieves here is an incredibly rare occurrence as far as remixes are concerned: making it sound as if the song was a simultaneous collaboration instead of "just" a remix. In a way, this is exactly what I would have expected a "Pendulum ft. Devin Townsend" song would sound. This can only be done when the "remixer" has the utmost respect for the song being remixed, as well as for the stylistic decisions and aural intentions of the original while, at the same time, realizing the compatibility between writing styles and technical proficiency. This remix in no way feels like "Pendulum remade by Devin Townsend", nor does it sound like "Devin Townsend sings in a Pendulum song" (quite opposite to, for instance, the Noisia remix: it's a great Noisia song, but Pendulum is not really there). Both of their signatures are there in this remix, and are so close together, that you would never guess this to be a remix instead of a full-blown collaboration on a first listen. TL;DR: It's the best remix because it doesn't sound like "Devin Townsend messes with a Pendulum song". It's the best remix because it sounds like "Pendulum sat down with Devin Townsend and they made a song together." And that's awesome.

[@zakkwan4787]

I think more remixes should be like that, don't you think?

[@the_sci3ntist]

You sir just sumed it up perfectly, couldn't have been said better. And of course I agree with you in every bit, I think - regardless of the fact that the whole album is pretty amazing - this certain rework is beyond compare. I'd be willing to risk saying that perhaps a bit even better than the original version!

[@elmagou]

Good point. I think the word "remix" is a redo of the original mix (duh), puttin' what the mix tech wants. In my opinion, is what you are saying: Dev did a redo of the song, like if we did a collab with Pendulum, and sounds so good that can make AVICI shit on his pants (?)

[@aaronjenkinson]

Self v Self like

[@kor86]

Maybe. But there's different approaches to remixing than just to sound like they feature together. I like when the song sounds totally differently with a slight touch of the original mix too. I think your view is quite narrow-minded. All and all this remix is great, don't get me wrong but the point you're making is just 1 point of view.

[@fedepi7540]

Thank to Devin, I'll never be able to listen to the original version again

[@KRAPYBARA84]

Federica Pistillo there's an OG version?

[@robb.4613]

-_-

[@csiszarmilan3904]

I think this is ironic ("already forgot there's an original")

[@Dreaming.Neon.Black.]

you mean sarcastic?

[@SzymkowiAK47]

Remix is good but original better

[@shortzProductions]

The best remix from this remix LP for sure!

[@Dubstone]

What about Matrix & Futurebound's? Or Grabbitz's?

[@shortzProductions]

Dubstone I expected more from the matrix & futurebound remix, its still pretty well, but this remix of crush gave me even more chills.

[@Dubstone]

shortz Productions Yeah this one goes harder, but i don't know if i'd compare it to M&F's one...

[@shortzProductions]

as always it depends on personal preferences and expectations I´d say and how they get fulfilled with the final product.

[@Grant-rr2lh]

I agree. my favorite for sure.

[@de1168]

I'm torn between this and the Propane Nightmares remix

[@Vaelzan]

I wasn't expecting to see Devin Townsend on this release, but I'm sure glad he's here! This is awesome!

[@voicians]

the background is so sharp it cut my eyes

[@doodadamlol]

Getting some real self vs self vibes here, love it

[@Nekogal21]

doodadamlol it would've been interesting to see a remix of self vs self actually

[@evanzo27]

Love a bit of Drum & Bass with Rock/Heavy Metal thrown in! Always produces something good! Kind of feel like Self vs Self was underrated on the previous album!

[@DefaultUser1337]

Self vs Self was 2nd best on that imo :)

[@SundownMarkTwo]

It feels more like a softer take on Self vs Self. It's still really good, though. I love what Townsend did to Crush.

[@ProStateExaminer]

Self vs. Self underrated? It's fucking legendary. It's got millions of views combined.

[@evanzo27]

Yeah underrated! Look how popular the majority of other tracks on the album are in comparison. Not saying it isn't legendary, I'm saying it's underrated, as in it doesn't quite get the full love it deserves like some other tracks do!

[@leej8856]

I thought that too

[@d112cons]

Damn, when Dev does a remix, he does a REMASTER. The rework aside, the track has never sounded better. Consider this an audition to produce the inevitable Pendulum return. Naturally, Devy couldn't resist his own contributions at the 3:00 mark...

[@k-doggy1762]

It is incredible. I just wish the bass hit a bit harder like the original.

With the recent release of PowerNerd, this aged well.🐱😎

[@TheBugma]

This one starts with pretty mild changes (which isn't a bad thing, I really dig the original song after all) but the "metal" or "screaming" part is just the cherry on top. Another amazing song

[@zimeron1]

Was not expecting Hevy Devy when I went to go listen to Pendulum to day. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@erra7552]

[@davidferman8558]

Just love the wall of sound that Devin creates. I am not one for remixes normally, but this is a dream of a mix.

OMG yes!! Pendulum remixing Hyperdrive!!! YES!!!!! Or Juno

[@NickOXIDMusic]

Pendulum remix of Save Our Now Wait...

[@ThePseudonoob]

Never did I ever expect to find a remix of Pendulum by Devin Townsend, let alone one with Devin's *vocals* on it. Fucking awesome stuff.

[@Nyarlah]

This one works because it's an actual cover (and a great one), not just a guy laying a playback and chosing the few parts he'll deconstruct with weird choices. Thanks to Devin, this reworks album is not a 100% letdown.

[@bliccer9319]

good on changing that vocab - cover - not a remix, as we can hear here its a huge difference. Surely he used their samples, but it could be a song he sings and getting the band on stage, instead of just putting his stuff underneath. Sweet. And that Townsend humour at the beginning - started way less dark than the original :D

[@Scalar_Alchz]

I was running out in the cold light, Wondering where to go To run away, without you All my fear is coming home, And it's ripped out for the show You can't be me, I will become you, tonight I was wandering under black skies, Clutching at what is mine No control, left to lose When I felt that it wouldn't phase me, I ran and hid like a child I feel so guilty, I'll make it up to you, tonight -------------------------- They're changing my future Visions I had buried underground, Return us our futures --------------------------- I was breaking out of my own skin, Choking upon release I'm in no state, to judge you Scratching itches best left alone, Chasing memories I used to own I can't wait until this is over, tonight --------------------------- They're changing my future Visions I had buried underground, Return us our futures --------------------------- Well the nightmares I've been having have arrived, They're changing my future Signs of my creation at my door, How could you do this to her? .

Best band out there, not only the instrumental part which is amazing in it's own right, but the lyrics hit deep and make sense unlike other bands lyrics and offer that kind of cathartic feeling.

[@LilyArciniega]

THIS IS FANTASTIC

[@lowenbad]

What’s weird about this one is that when I first heard it, it was like hearing a style that I had in my head, but had never actually heard. I was like “THATS IT!” It was like I had already heard it in my dreams or something. Also, the lyrics of this song, along with the new part Devin sings, perfectly mirrored a situation that was happening in my own life. It’s really weird when stuff like that happens.
