Take Ecstacy With Me/Get Up

This 12-inch features cover versions of the Magnetic Fields' "Take Ecstasy With Me" and Nate Dogg's "Get Up". These two seemingly contrasting tunes were chosen because the band wanted to teach themselves something new. They learned a lot trying to make a pop song, using a string quartet and generally trying to make a song for people to trip out on. The Magnetic Fields song is great because it replaces sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll with love, XTC, and house music. Nate Dogg's tune is unjustly overlooked and the band believes one day he'll be recognized as one of the true greats of soul music.
