Coldcut - More Beats + Pieces - 31-Mar-09 02:43 PM
Excellent single and music video from Coldcut. The remixes could be a disappointment to some. The Tortoise remix is a bit dull, trudging along for 6 minutes, and would of benefited from being only half as long. The four other remixes are essentially scratch sessions by Q-Bert, Kid Koala, and T-Power. For that, this a worthy addition to the collection of any turntablism fan. Otherwise, the release is more of a 3/5 stars to anyone expecting more diverse remixes.

DJ Pierre - Box Energy (4 Remix 1) - 27-Oct-08 03:10 PM
This 192kps mp3 was available on the Rephlex site for awhile and can probably be found now on p2p or certain forums. It is essentially a longer edit of the Box Energy remix found of the "2 Remixes By AFX" single. The main difference lies in the mid-section interlude (the sample of an excited ecstacy user), which is time-stretched and filtered even more than on the original remix. Otherwise, the remix is basically identicle, consisting of the equally frantic beats and acid lines.

Menomena - Friend And Foe - 23-Oct-08 04:18 PM
Amongst a sea of forgettable indie rock bands invading blogs and online publications Menomena is one of the few worth checking out. Each song has a completely different dynamic and each of the three members take turns on the different songs. There is a lot wierd sampling, catchy hooks, thoughful lyrics, and clever uses of synths and saxophones amongst the typical drum, guitar, and bass setup. It was also recorded using Max derived software that ensured all the members contributed what they wanted musically.

Plus, if anything else, the CD sleeve is one of the most clever and uniquely designed youll see from a regular release of any artist.
