Title:......Thug::Remixed
Artist:.....Tim Koch (Thug) / Various
Label:......Aural Industries
Cat. No.:...AI005CD
Thug::Remixed is a 70 plus-minute remix-fest featuring fifteen
specially commissioned tracks from artists
whose mixing manipulations run the gamut of popular electronic music
stylings from breakbeat to beatless,
electro to ambient experimental, drum'n'bass to abstract noise.
Thug, for those of you not in the know, is Adelaide-based Tim Koch,
whose reminiscent melodies, slightly
wistful ambience, retro-electro bloopiness, and fractured-but-smooth
rhythms issued in Isolated Rhythm Chock,
his first full-length for the Aural Industries label. Unashamedly
influenced by British label Warp's ambient-techno
of the early 90s, particularly the Artificial Intelligence imprint,
the album was released in 1999 to accolades
internationally, with names such as Autechre and Boards of Canada
being invoked as sonic reference points
in reviews. It is no surprise, then, to find this prodigiously
accomplished debut album being plundered to provide
the source material for a state-of-the-art exercise in remix aesthetics.
"Thug::Remixed" contains 15 tracks in all, with a number of
outstanding remixes which preserve something of
the spirit of the originals whilst adding a spark of something different.
A worthwhile addition to the collection of fans of beat-driven
ambient and idm stylings of recent years, Thug::Remixed's
brazen eclecticism works as an enjoyable guided tour of the diversity
of sub-genres of current electronica.
