31 Days Rammstein Challenge - Day 9: Favourite Remix
Rammstein has so many remixes that I thought this challenge would be more difficult than it was. But once I went through the list, it became obvious to me which one I had to pick.
Zeit RMX by Ólafur Arnalds.
This remix is simply beautiful. The arrangement is incredible, it lifts up the already touching song and turns it into a timeless classical piece that highlights the melancholy and beauty of Rammstein's music.
I love what Ólafur Arnalds wrote on his own Facebook page after the remix was released:
When I was 15 years old Rammstein came to Reykjavík. This was going to be one of the biggest shows in Icelandic history. Me and my friends went and headbanged our teenage hearts out. 20 years later I was asked to rework their latest single.
What an absolute treasure his remix has become.
