I liked this one quite a bit -- here's the review I wrote for
http://allmusic.com/...
This six-track remix album reassembles Slicker's {^Confidence in Duber} via
the post-production of an assortment of post-rock/electronica figures, most
notably Richard Devine, Casey Rice (aka Super ESP), and Matmos. The disc
opens with Devine's contribution, an intricately programmed homage to Mouse
on Mars and Autechre executed with help from partner Sherren. Next comes
Casey Rice's Super ESP remix, a lo-fi drum'n'bass number using a variety of
extraneous audio trash cut'n'pasted into a highly original production. Among
considerable competition, San Francisco's Matmos contributes the highlight;
their remix is also heavy on the cut'n'paste, but with various sections
shifting from a focus on old-school drums and vocal samples to white noise
to tabla drumming and surprisingly deep trip-hop grooves. Thanks to a great
roster of remixers, Slicker's {^Remixes} arguably bests the album it's
sourced from. ~ John Bush
