A second remix of MF DOOM's "Gazillion Ear" from Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has surfaced.
Yorke's "Man on Fire Remix" arrives 12 years after he first reworked the track for the iTunes edition of DOOM's sixth and final studio LP, Born Like This. It now lands as part of Lex Records' Lex XX remix series, in celebration of the London label's 20th anniversary
The label explains in a statement, "Thom Yorke remixed the track twice. The first version was originally released simply under 'Thom Yorke Remix' but he delivered it with the moniker 'Monkey Hustle Remix' to differentiate it from the 'Man on Fire Remix,' which gets its debut release 12 years after Thom delivered it."
"The 'Man on Fire Remix' is searing caustic noise on first listen, but in that dense mass of jarring sirens there's a lurching, jerking funk track that becomes clearer on every repeat."
MF DOOM died in October 2020, though his passing was announced on New Year's Eve. Following his death, posthumous work from the beloved MC has arrived from the Avalanches and Czarface.
Yorke recently debuted new band the Smile, with which he has reportedly finished a debut album.
