The Killers - Read My Mind / Bones

"Bones" was originally the second single off of The Killers' current album, however, "Read My Mind" was chosen instead. Both have got the remixing treatments though.

As of right now, "Read My Mind" has mixes by Pet Shop Boys and Gabriel & Dresden. The Pet Shop Boys mix is a lovely electro/dance/rock mix that could work well on Pop Radio. Seriously. It's very sophisticated and bridges the gap between all those genres. The mix is very retro sounding and calls to mind some of Erasure and Depeche Mode's 80's offerings. Neil Tennant's backing vocals really add to the mix and take it to the next level. Gabriel & Dresden's mix is in a similar vein, but it's a lot more chill. It's very nice as well. More mixes may be on the way.

"Bones" has a mix by Tiga right now. This mix really improves upon the original. The original was not bad, but it needed some energy that this mix gives.

Overall, these mixes work well on the radio and in the clubs so go check these out.
