Rated 2/5
Review by plaidzebra Oct 27, 2002
This collection is a disappointing melange of half baked ideas and a general failure to meet the demands of the source material. Coldcut's twitchy, bubbly techno approach works nicely, but the absolute bottom of the remix barrel is reached with Tranquility Bass' awful "Megamix," which mixes many classic tracks into a pointless novelty exercise. Howie B cuts apart and pastes together "8 Lines," then adds dopey ticking percussion and cheesy effects along with warped voice samples. Andrea Parker puts forth a relaxed, dull, dark electro impression of "The Four Sections." Nobukazu Takemura begins promisingly enough but repetition weighs his version down as the same vocal motif repeats over and over. Admirers of Steve Reich and the collective talent of the remixers will likely be disappointed.
