Arcade Fire 'Neighbourhood #3 - Power Out (Hotel2Tango Version)' (Rough Trade, 2005)

Early, more indie, version of this corker from the debut Arcade Fire album, recorded at Constellation Records/Godspeed You! Black Emporer's Hotel2Tango studio in Montreal in August 2003.

It's a looser take on the song, more emphasis on the chugging guitars and less on the pounding rhythm. It still has a strangely New Order-y feel and the same energy and feel and florid instrumentation as the version that made them famous.
