Most of The Remixes
words by Sam Little
Of remixes, Blur bassist Alex James says they’re pointless, feeling that the true art form of music should not be dabbled with. And he’s got a point. But so would Soulwax if they proved that polishing turds is possible. And they could, but unfortunately they rarely pick up turds, these guys. They fuck only with the best, all of which are here - Klaxons, Kylie, Justice. So we have a problem. It’s true that ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ doesn’t need touching, even if Soulwax do make the great only slightly less so here.

Vivian Girls - Vivian Girls

Plastic Passion - Contrived Imagery
They're saying that punk's dead, y'know? Spiritually, if not physically.
Wetdog - Enterprise Reversal
Had ‘Enterprise Reversal’ been a five track EP of a release its toneless blahs from lead shouter Rivka Gillieron would have still been a struggle to sit through.
