Grabbed this immediately but was pretty disappointed. Squarepusher turns
in the best remix - sped up vocals and funky beat but tied nicely into
his live sound. Autechre mix is okay but not one of their best, Freeform
was a bit aimless, Phoenecia was pretty nice - I liked this one.
Funkstorung was okay but again, totally average. The Sluta Leta remix is
probably the most different - some nice sounds but doesn't do that much.
I thought there'd at least be one or two really good remixes on here but
everything sounded a bit unsurprising - remix by numbers, the
Squarepusher remix is cool though.
Got the Alien 12" on (goddamit) Blue Room Released. The original is
appallingly bad, the As One remix is big-beat sounding (whats up
Kirk?!?) but the Plaid remix is cool and sweet.
Bola LP is really nice. Quite old-sounding, like the first Gescom on
Skam. But pretty nice although _Aguilla_ is the stand-out of this, as it
was on the 7". A bit samey perhaps and the opening tracks sounds like
Vangelis remixed it. Great sleeve design.
