My boss just loaned me this...and he's high if he thinks he's getting it back!
"Sacrilege" is 2 CD's of remixes paying homage to the German group known
only as Can. These guys starting pushing the envelopes of ecclectic,
experimental and pop music back in the late sixties, and disbanded sometime
in the late seventies,only to regroup briefly in the eighties, if my memory
serves me correct...I'm not too knowledgeable on Can so somebody please
correct me if I'm wrong or just feel free to fill in the blanks....
The remixes on "Sacrilege" have been produced by the likes of:
Brian Eno
System 7
Carl Craig
Sonic Youth/Warton Tiers (wtf....actually, it wasn't as bad as I expected)
The Orb
A Guy Called Gerald
Francois Kevorkian & Rob Rives (wasn't there a thread recently asking about
FK?)
Pete Shelly & Black Radio
U.N.K.L.E.
Secret Knowledge
3P
Westbam
Bruce Gilbert
Sunroof
Air Liquide
Hiller/Kaiser/Leda
It's really hard to describe all the different genres represented in these
works. The tracks run the gamut from electronic jazz, to Drum and Bass, to
breaks, to trip-hop, to <insert label here>
My fave is Air Liquide's rendition of "Flow Motion," it's this great fusion
of creeping synth-pop, organic breaks, and funky guitar samples....some
wonderful stuff here!
Would like to have seen something by Autechre or TBD....but you can't have
everthing.....Highly Recommended!!!!!!!
