Various Artists (3) – Remixes

I hauled this out of my archives recently to listen to it 25 years after I first bought it, and I have to say, this has aged pretty well. I really liked it then, and I think I might like it even more now. This is a collection of excellent remixes without a bad one in the bunch. It ascends quite nicely, and I feel like the four remixes were sequenced very thoughtfully. My fave might be the Monoloke version, and I like the other three artists much better. I think the remixes just get better as the record progresses. I highly recommend picking up the 8 8.5 9 EP that these remixes come from which is excellent in its own right, and can show some reference point to these versions.

25 years old! Fresh as the day it was released, will never go moldy.🖖

Glad I found this. Not really got much more to add than the previous reviewer but this is definitely a decent record that's worth considering. The Monolake tune is a real beaut. Would recommend. 4/5.

Perhaps the most basic channel like track Monolake ever did. Modulo 8.5 is a track that's delays get busier, more complex, louder and more delayed as the song goes on. Rich with reverb sounds as if you are slowly being sucked into some sort of memory loss machine while transforming you to some other world. Heavy stuff. Favorite one on here is the Pole remix. While a bit more repetitive the dub combined with the eerie bells and industrial effects, clangs and static is a transmission worth receiving. Slightly demented but powerful in it's starkness. And surprisingly catchy to boot. Autechre's track is very original. Doesn't sound like anything similar to me. In some way I wouldn't even recognize it as Autechre. A bit more straight up techno than they have ever done. Sounds like Reinhart Voigt or some German artist. Solid track there. The Funkstorung version sounds like Autechre actually with its jitter marble ball sound that was used on similar Autechre songs around this time. This song is the most ambient or idm on here with a warm analog melody over skittered beats. Very nice meloncholly ending to this jam packed idm 12"
