Samples: "this sound is brought to you by the Australasian film and video securities office..... please help us stop it. this is a major problem in Australia..." - cutup version of copyright warning at the start of VHS video cassettes in Australia.
Seven versions of AMPIA redone by the most esteemed people in the business one might wonder whether Koxbox was seeking inspiration. From ambient sound scapes to psychedelic warfare we certainly get around this track!
And so there is no doubt – my pick is Massimo Vivona’s remix. God freakin’ damnit!! Koxbox are legendary for creating tracks with multiple sections and MV is no stranger to this talent. And when on top they end on the mother of high notes after a 7:19 minutes long build up I can only bow & scrape. How DO these guys come up with it?
Yet, if all the tracks are remixes one may wonder how many layers AMPIA contains. Alright, so three tracks sounds close to the original, but give me the Pepsi challenge and I wouldn’t be able to call the remaining tracks remixes. Miro serves us a laid back trippy voyage, Saafi Brothers a chilled out sleeper, Logic Bomb held back Koxbox aggressiveness, and Pixeldodgers a dark tech journey on psychedelic influences. And I’m all ears.
If you like Koxbox don’t hesitate chasing down a copy. And if you’re not convinced already let me just add that the cd is worth having for the hideous cover alone! This must have been engineered when nothing fails to please the eye. I mean, who could this possibly appeal to?!
