You're not serious, are you?

From the Signalrunners MySpace blog:

Hi guys- Just wanted to give you an update about this track, as we've received boatloads of emails and myspace messages regarding our bootleg of the beautiful "Chicago", originally by Sufjan Stevens. We've (drumroll.....) finally cleared the sample! Our publishers (Steve Burton / Chris Sills of A7/Fat Fox) have worked extremely hard to accomplish this, and we are so thankful I cannot even put it to words!! Originally this just started as a project directly out of boredom and curiosity, but it actually turned into something quite special. So yes, this means this track will get released. When? I'm not too sure. Things take very long in this industry, so it really depends on how lucky we are throughout the process. I know it's been a really long wait, which I'm sorry for, but it will hopefully all be worth it in the end. We're working with Sufjan's people to get an acapella of the track so that we can do some additional mixes to bring the release some more freshness...so there will be some unheard stuff there too! We will be keeping you guys updated through our myspace about further developments with this track Andrew

Great news

They also put up a sample on their MySpace:

I really like the original, I don't think the remix deserves quite all the shit it's getting, I would like a copy to play in my sets, have people recognize it at parties and so fourth. Signalrunners are pretty decent producers IMO, they shouldn't necessarily get judged solely on a pop bootleg.

How many pop bootlegs are really all that great anyways?

+1 :-)

It's an OK track, don't think that it's comparible with some of Blake Jarrel's crossover remixes but it's a solid track from a very good production outfit

you can't really compare Blake's bootlegs to this. What SR did with Chicago is way more intricate and innovative than the re-hashed sound you hear in all of Blake's reworks. The rhythm, bassline, and instrumentation (much more innovative synths on Chicago) don't even compare to the very normal sounds Blake uses.

not bashing Blake, I do like some of his bootlegs, but this just stands in a completely different league.

I agree with your point mate, I wasn't really making a direct comparison between this track & the Blake tracks, just commenting that I feel Blake's works with rock/pop songs are my some of my favourites, as I said this is a good solid track too

i really liked the signalrunners remix!

Oh god, hopefully Arcade Fire "No Cars Go" isn't going to be their next target

who has the full version and wants to pm me a copy? anyone? plz?

"1 Step Backwards, 2 Steps Forwards

Well guys...I hate to have to say this but we've got a bit of bad news about Chicago. At the last minute, Sufjan decided not to allow the release of the track. It's unfortunate, but he did allow that we can release it for promotional reasons (ie white label bootleg, etc), which we will do once we work out those kinks. I'm not sure what the reason was, but I completely respect it as Sufjan is probably my favorite artist, and whatever the reasons he used for his decision are probably best for him in the long run.

But we do have some good news! We have an absolute BOATLOAD of new material heading your way. We have Recoil coming out on Andy Moor's fabulous new label AvA Recordings. Also Anjunabeats announced that the Signalrunners EP will be ANJ092, right after Oceanic (tough act to follow!!) sometime in mid October. We've finished a bunch of new tracks too this summer focusing on a different sound than our usual, but we think you will enjoy it Look out for a bunch of stuff including our remix of Markus Schulz (out now), our Lange remix (out soon), and some brand new hot material for our label, Fraction Records.

As always we'll keep you updated as to whatever is going to happen with Chicago and anything else that is Signalrunners!

-Andrew & Alan"



this is the signalrunners most recent blog from myspace. I for one am disappointed, now all I can hear of this song is the sample that the thread starter posted. Well that and the original Surfjan version, which is better anyways.

FUCK YES!!!
