The Compost crew gets their hands on Ennio Morricone for some major remix efforts. On REMIXES, VOL. 1, International Pony kicks things off with a silly homage ditty, but Alex Attias and Swell Session quickly get things into house territory with their mixes. If you’ve ever wanted to dance to the harmonica of “Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo,” now’s your chance! And, as expected, Hakan Lidbo goes tech-house blippy on “Alla Serenita.” Leroy Hanghofer brings some bright, ringing tones to “Beat N. 3,” while Needs offers “Amore Come Dolore” some mellow jazz. Kabuki puts some speedy breaks to “Dal Mare,” and the Butti 49 give “Rivoluzione” an Afro-jazz vibe. Kid Sundance does a bouncy version of “Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto,” but the Amalgamation of Soundz outdo themselves with their version of “La Cugina”—cinematic digital breaks at its best. Temporary Soundmuseum close out the album with a spacey version of “Giu La Testa.” Morricone, no doubt, would be proud.
