In general I haven’t paid much attention to remixes (from any artist) simply preferring the original/album version in nearly every case.

There are now a lot of remixes of Aurora songs. What do you think, are there any you would consider essential listening?

Seems weird that AURORA would allow her music be used to promote the FIFA World Cup. Seems like a direct contradiction to her social stance. Any thoughts on this?

I believe ITV is using it as their official song for their FIFA broadcasts. TOMORA’s IG account reposted it and AURORA’s official IG liked it.

Edit: The reason I’m surprised about this is because of all of the issues that surround FIFA. I am not talking about the fake peace prize they gave Trump. I’m talking about their human rights violations and how they negatively impact countries in which they visit. Also their huge support of genocidal countries.

Video captured & upscaled to 4K by me. I also added chapters for each song + the setlist. GET IT FROM HERE. Technical data, setlist and screenshots below.

Capture from france.tv -> get the m3u8 links for audio and video with Internet Download Manager -> download A/V streams with yt-dlp based on those m3u8 links -> mux these A/V streams with MKVToolNix 95.0.

4K Upscale in Avisynth+ : cropped black borders, debanding with neo_f3kdb (output to 10bit), upscaled video with nnedi3_rpow2 using Spline36Resize. The video was saved as HEVC 10bit with CRF18 and preset medium and then muxed with the original audio in a MKV container. The original video had color banding artifacts (ugly distict steps of bands instead of smooth gradients) and the fix was the neo_f3kdb filter which smoothed the background a little a added some digital grain. The 10bit output was necessary to maintain the grain & the gradients.

Chapters: manually added using the Chapter Editor of MKVToolNix 95.0. The setlist was taken from setlist.fm.

On a side note, the result has constant 25fps and that proves the original had also has constant 25fps but with the wrong VFR metadata since no frame was removed in the upscaling process.

Setlist:

1. Churchyard
2. Soulless Creatures
3. A Soul With No King
4. Heathens
5. Exist for Love
6. The Dark Dresses Lightly
7. Running With the Wolves
8. The River
9. Runaway
10. The Seed
11. Starvation
12. Giving in to the Love
