Since the first singles, "1901" and "Lisztomania," from their Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix were released, Phoenix have been commissioning remixes of varied quality, with none topping the catchiness of the originals. The latest is the dub remix of "1901" by Ivan Beck, which puts Thomas Mars' vocals over a mellow reggae beat. The vocals don't always line up neatly, but it's a charmingly sloppy mix.

For a while, they had a multitrack download of 1901 on their site, for anyone to grab and remix. It seems to be gone now that the album's out, though.
