Rated 5/5
Review by scoundrel Feb 05, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Not only are Plaid well-regarded artists in their own right, but they’re outstanding remixers. They take Bjork’s haunting “All is Full of Love” and make it sparkle. They retain the Asian influences of Tao’s “Riot in Lagos” (itself a Ryuichi Sakamoto cover), while putting their own unmistakable stamp on it. The tempos range from quick and dancefloor-friendly (“You’ll Never Come Back”) to calm and relaxed (“Spiral Bits”). The styles, as well, go from Latin (“One Latin,” somewhat reminiscent of their own classic “Scoobs in Columbia”) to the creepy and abstract (“No Government”) to pure electro-funk (“Scorpio”). And that’s just on the first disc! The second disc boasts an exclusive track, “Wrong Ways,” and another slew of outstanding mixes from a diverse who’s-who of electronic music, remade into Plaid’s image: UNKLE (calm breaks), Herbert (accordian-accentuated [which goes full-blown on Coba’s “After Dinner”]), Funki Porcini (deep and driving), Sensorama (mellow techno). Their unreleased mix of Goldfrapp’s “Utopia” is toe-tapping signal beamed in from outer space. For uniqueness and clarity of vision, you can’t go wrong with Plaid.

An incredible collection of Plaid remixes. A mix that incorporates a very diverse palette of styles and artists; from Bjork to UNKLE, this is a must-have for Plaid fans and others who appreciate originality and creativeness.
