from the most classic now to the most controverse/aggressive Hip/Hop/Rap albums/titles - a fulllength that really impressed me was tim dog - penicillin on wax what a dog, this cat. ahem, haha ; ) this guy was kind of a second grade member of the ultramagnetics bunch, btw.... any other recommendations? Paris, NWA, ...? Q

Dntel's (This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan EP has some of the most infectious idm records I've heard in a long time (if ever). Barbara Morgenstern's remix in which she duet's with the singer from Dntel is so beautiful, I can't even explain how gorgeous the combinations of the indie dntel vocals are with Barbara's distinct style, this is then followed by Superpitcher's Kompakt remix which transforms the song into a dancefloor friendly tech house pop song. The safety Scissors remix is pure glitch house. There's also a Lali Puna remix which applies a whole other perspective to the track. Props definitely go out to the plug research guys for putting out the perfect set of remixes.

Word. I've been listening to this record a couple of times a day since it arrived a few days ago, and I have yet to get sick of it, which is a rare thing to say about a remix EP. It helps that the original track was one of my favourites on the album. But every remix on there is stellar, and none of them sound enough like the others to make it repetative. And the addition of new vocals (or in the case of the Safety Scissors track, rewiting the lyrics slightly and getting someone completely different to sing them) make it even better. Apparently the release has been delayed until Aug 20th, but when the date rolls around, everyone should be all over this. It's easily the single of the summer.

i wanted so badly to love this release, but in the end it just didn't do it for me. i like it well enough and would even prefer it to a lot of other things coming out right now. if i had to guess at what the problem was i'd say that none of the remixers were fearless enough in their approach to handling the song. it's such a pretty and wonderful song as it is and it seems like people are kind of tiptoeing around it so as not to fling shit upon the mona lisa (how's that for hyperbole!?). i like superpitcher's mix but i find it strange that such a straight four to the floor remix can be somehow less dancey than the original staticy cacophonous resplendence of the track. also, the one original track on there is nowhere near up to snuff as far as dntel's usual standard goes. i've seen him live several times in the last few months and i can safely say that as new songs go, he's holding back BIG time. this one sounds like a really good song by Figurine (one of his other bands), interpret that as you will. also, i know i've heard that last lyric in another one of his songs, but i can't figure out which: 'the alarm has run and your week's begun' what's that from!? though 'this is the dream of evan and chan' has gotten me really excited about the postal service record that ben and jimmy are going to put out on sub pop... word is out that it'll be done pretty soon. gregory --- Greg Clow <greg@stainedproductions.com> wrote:

Speaking of controversial - there was an incredibly raunchy 1 hour special on MTV called "Hip-Hop and Hot Sex" the other night that, while being completely crass and gross many many times, actually had some interesting insight into wierd hip-hop trends and how making sexual, underground hip-hop and avoiding bigtime media outlets has been the key to success for people like Too Short. Pretty entertaining if you ask me ... dave robert sinewave wrote:
