It’s one of the hottest singles of the week from one of the hottest bands on the planet and festival favourites Pendulum are bang on form with latest tune Crush.
The release coincides with a classic iTunes LP release of mega-selling album Immersion – featuring a whole host of audio and video extras.
In addition to the original album the iTunes LP adds the full nine-minute epic version of The Island, six further remixes of The Island including contributions from Tiesto and the Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello, Watercolour mixes from deadmau5 and Emalkay and four mixes of Witchcraft which include Rob Swire’s drum-step mix.
Two of The Island remixes on the Immersion iTunes LP were winning tracks from the band’s recent competition, held in conjunction with Juno Download and Soundcloud, to remix the single. The winners, personally selected by Rob Swire, are Huddersfield’s dubstep duo Statelapse (http://soundcloud.com/statelapseuk) and teenage producer Madeon (http://soundcloud.com/madeon) from Nantes, France.
The Immersion iTunes LP also features a wealth of video content ranging from ‘The Making of Immersion’ documentary to footage of the band’s recent Wembley Arena show. It also offers a rare look at the process behind the creation of an album cover with ‘Making The Immersion Artwork’, promo videos for the singles Watercolour, Witchcraft and The Island, the making of the Witchcraft video and also the creative graphics behind Pendulum’s famously visual life experience.
