James Murphy's remix of 'Love Is Lost' by David Bowie has been revealed online, in its full 10-minute glory.

The former LCD Soundsytem man created the 'Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix By James Murphy For The DFA) for the upcoming expanded re-release of The Next Day - due out next month.

Murphy's remix aired this morning on BBC 6Music, and will also be available to stream from Bowie's official website on midnight. The mix clocks in at 10 minutes and 25 seconds and can only be described as 'epic'. The LCD man adds his trademark sense of space and danceability and even incorporates the keyboard line from the Bowie classic 'Ashes To Ashes'.

  • The Times - 4/5: "A great album, and a sense of mystery".

  • The Independent - 5/5: "The Starman pulls off the greatest comeback album in rock'n'roll history with The Next Day".

  • Clash - 8/10: "This is a contemplative, confident record which will only strengthen with further listening. Reflective, revitalising and luxuriously refined; it's bloody good Bowie after all."

  • London Evening Standard - 4/5: "Bowie reborn is dark, daring and dazzling, confidently inviting comparison with his finest work".

  • Rolling Stone - 4/5: "A triumphant album. The Next Day is the comeback Bowie fans feared would never happen."

  • The Financial Times - 4/5: "After a 10-year silence Bowie is back with an album that's thick with visions of ageing, death and violence".

  • The Telegraph - 5/5: "Bowie's first album for a decade %u2013 is a bold, beautiful and baffling electric bolt through its own mythos".

  • Metro - 4/5: "Bowie has always been comfortable with his own ch-ch-ch-changes; now he's taking in a changing world, too. He's a pop icon with no intention of being a period piece."

  • NME - 8/10: "Rather than reinventing Bowie, it absorbs his past and moves it on, hungry for more".
