A Forest (Schwarzwald Mix)

Update: Get it at iTunes and Amazon. (Thanks Brad)

"Remember that mediocre dancefloor version of "A Forest" by german duo Blank & Jones? They just released a new (September 2009) remix album entitled "Reordered" which also contains a new remix of "A Forest". Suprisingly it's a slowed down, trip-hop like version with Robert's vocals on it. Definitely worth checking out." (Thanks Ingmar)
