Notes

All remixes recorded in swingtime except "The last beat (House Dub)" recorded at the Croft on the Hill.

Thanks should go to: Pete, Mark and Jim for their patience, to the labels for asking me to do the mixes in the first place.
The artists for letting me go near their work.
Dani for her ears, Anna for her garlic bread, to sarah for her font of good thoughts, to Martin H for his extra help, Eddie and James for their efficient minds, and Jotter for his continued enthusiasm in face of adversity.

Thanks don't go to president Tony Blair and UK parliament for bombing a poor and hungry people, nor to Bush for deifying our democratic way of life, yet failing to adhere to its most basic principles.
Thanks also goes neither to the CIA for arming and training our so called enemies, nor to western companies that sell anthrax and arms to whoever wishes to buy it.

Review by scoundrel Jun 30, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)

Secondhand Sounds, a collection of remixes by Herbert, showcase his unique and fascinating skills. While all of the tracks skew housewards, the differences in mood are wonderful. On the first disc, Mono gets “Highlife” taken to a new club high, while Two Banks of Four and Nils Petter Molvaer receive more jazzy mixes. Herbert also reworks himself, putting a beat behind “The Last Beat” and using those found sounds from a tape measure to enhance his Doctor Rockit track “Tape Measure.” The second disc really displays Herbert’s versatility: from the tech-stomp of Recloose’s “Can’t Take It” to the clattering of Moloko’s “Sing It Back,” these are a few of the reasons why Herbert has become such a big name. The stuttering on “Koppchen” or on the sleazy listening of “Hoping” showcase Herbert’s interest in the management of individual sounds. It’s this attention to sound and detail that makes his work memorable.
