Animal Collective have dropped a remix of Ratatat's Mirando and I'm not particularly dazzled. I have a huge amount of respect for the Collective as a band but this remix sounds like a cliche soundtrack to a bad drug trip. Maybe I'm not that open and can't get the genius but it sounds like a missed attempt at electronic psychedelic noise. I much prefer the stylings of Gang Gang Dance for this particular genre.
To listen to Animal Collective's remix of Mirando, check out the mp3 on iheartcomix.com
I'd love to hear what you think!
On a positive note, Animal Collective's My Girls is phenomenal and an amazing tribute to the house master, Frankie Knuckles.

Check out Frankie Knuckle's Your Love to hear the homage! This is House at it's finest. Click here to listen
Considering they're useing source material as crappy as Ratatat, i'd say they've crafted a solid piece of experimental noise. After all, AC is at its roots an experimental band.
Nice Knuckles shout out. That song has been moving people for 20 years.
