Freerunning, vocalists, and remixes. Topic mashup anyone?

So, was browsing Youtube and ran across Tempest Freerunning Academy's demo video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fouvwilGWc ). Aside from the freerunning and parkour, which is, of course, awesome in its own right, I instantly fell in love with the song they chose for the video.
The song is a remix by Bassnectar of Ellie Goulding's "Lights". I'm sure it's already making it's rounds amongst those more well-endowed with internet social connections than I, but despite that realization, it seemed a worthy enough subject for my first journal.
I absolutely love the remix, and the original song to boot. I haven't had the chance to listen to much else from Ellie Goulding yet, but I do enjoy her voice. I hope she doesn't suffer the same fate as my enjoyment of Lisa Miskovsky, known for her singing in the theme song to the game Mirror's Edge (unfortunately titled "Still Alive", leading to confusion with the other, more infinitely more well-known song of the same name). I looked up more of Lisa's music, but aside from a track or two, I just couldn't get into it. Very much hoping Ellie doesn't end up the same way, as I find that I do very much enjoy her vocal style.
