To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their signature hit "Insomnia", Faithless have had Avicii remix the classic club anthem!

This is quite exciting for me, I love Insomnia and so I am looking forward to hearing the Avicii remix.

It is expected to premiere on Friday.

This has the potential to be fantastic or really rubbish. I hope it's the former.

Armand van Helden's take on it in 2005 was pretty decent.

A couple of years ago I would have been excited by this prospect, but given how he is now I'm really worried he's gonna brutally murder this. drama.gif

I'd rather it was a Dido vocal version than this to be honest.

At least it's not Guetta.

well i do love this obviously, it's quite different for Avicii in 2015 too which is great, though I do prefer his Waiting For Love style songs.

definitely not better than the original but a banging remix

Awful. Like really awful.

The original is so unique (well, aside from the other Faithless tracks!) but this just makes it sound generic.

Further proof that he has completely lost it. Terrible and just not a song that needed reworking at all, particularly in such an uninspired way (Shame, as I actually really liked his remix of Rapture)
