Marumari gets put through the ringer on THE REMIXES, a compilation of their tracks retouched by mostly American IDM luminaries. What’s impressive here is the diversity each remixer brings to the work. For instance, drone master Electric Company puts a slow sweep across his track, while Casino Versus Japan gives a mellow, fizzy lift to his track. Greg Davis lays in some guitar strumming that gives way to bucolic blippery, and Robert Lippok of To Rococo Rot fame goes for quiet and baroque electronics. Stars as Eyes meld their space tones with deep, earthy tones. It just goes to show that the Europeans have nothing that American IDM can’t do just as well.
