Admirably, they made a meritocratic decision rather than a popularity based one - they chose to listen to all 260 entries instead of the top ten most listened to, as had previously been outlined during the comp. They opted for R Ingall's remelt, with its grand total of 9 plays, which you can listen [here].
While the "remelt" is pretty atmospheric and almost shoegaze-y, I think it pales in comparison to one of the runners-up. The 'Orchestral Arrangement Remix', which is pretty self-explanatory, is quite frankly astonishingly ace. Strangely, it isn't on the official list of runners-up [listen to all those here] but was mentioned in a Foals MySpace bulletin. Thus proving MySpace is still useful, after all. Anyways, the 'Orchestral Arrangment' remix is a beautifully melodramatic instrumental transformation of 'Electric Bloom'.
