lyric of the week:
“everybody i love, can be found here”
more of the same this week from soundsunlikely people… plural…
last week it was the four j teta band
this time i think it’s erol alkan and the remix in general that’s up on offer….
erol alkan with a v. fine selection by the name ‘bugged in’ (out now in a store near you- highly-recommended) and the remix as a way to create newfound sounds…
i like remixes that i didn’t necessarily expect… of groups/ people you wouldn’t automatically pile together…
feist seems to be having fun putting together people you wouldn’t necessarily…
hence she opens today’s session…
erol alkan appears several times for the same reasons… and the rest well because they seem to fit…
will the roscoe remix mean that it can be considered for best of 2007 as well…?
i came across the comment recently… “but, i don’t like beats” and that has been echoing in my mind… and i don’t fully understand the comment… (it could be because i do like beats, but) it feels to me like a statement that is used to to explain away a genre… so if you don’t like beats well you may have already ruled out this (beat including) mix…
here the electro producer gets his/her hands on some guitar based track and fiddles the nobs or vice versa…
either way some pretty fine re-workings…
and for the more selective of you who are after individual tracks you’ll find them below in the zipped file (tomorrow)…
enjoy…
