About

The wonderfully talented Dorothy's Ghost graces us with her presence once more to round off 2011, yet again showcasing her exceptional song writing, vocal and production skills. "Once Upon A Time" is an absolute gem of a contemporary torch song. Fucked-up analogue bass, evocative pads and an amazing singing voice, cascade across four minutes of absolute excellence.

Electric Sheep's Mitch Davis and Lee Waxman both turn in superb remixes. Mitch Davis uses just stark elements of the vocals to drift across atmospheric piano keys, 909 claps and rubber bass lines in his own inimitable style. Label partner Lee Waxman balances things out with a more multi-instrumental and soulful interpretation. A third remix from Sour Grapes stays true to the originals vibe, adding dramatic keys and a somewhat Balearic vibe.
