"Greatest Hits"
From the mind of BRAD LANER (MEDICINE, SAVAGE REPUBLIC, PERSONAL ELECTRONICS) we bring you electric company's "Greatest Hits", no not a collection of singles people all want on one cd but a remix album of the highest quality, 18 tracks of inspired remixes and collaborations of the chosen musician's favorite electric company songs. Trying to reach a different musical peak through the much maligned and "remix" this album succeeds on const- antly challenging the notion of a remix as mere namedropping or opportunistic genrecrossing but as truly inspired artistic transformation through sonically predirected reconstruction's, much like the collaboration between writer and director in films, the writer provides the plot and sonic characters, the remixers provide there technique and style, using electric company's provided ingredients to create something they couldn't create otherwise. KID606 (ipecac, mille plateaux, tigerbeat6) was given all the individual sound files that created the electric company "slow food" full length on planet-mu and produces a nine minute widescreen epic out of the mass of disparate material. TIMEBLIND (orthlorng musork, dropbeat) explodes the melody of 'around' reconstituting it to his liking, molecule by molecule. GEOFF WHITE (force-inc, cytrax, delay) takes the haunting found bird and highway recordings of "170" and drives it into a unique glitch-hop torchsong. LEAFCUTTER JOHN (planet-mu) makes a sprawling musique concret etude from out of just a few seconds of 'thursa2'. IDM originator -ZIQ (astralwerks,rephlex,planet-mu) creates one of his most inspired pieces bringing old school magic to the table with his Hyper melodic take on 'octelcogopod'. Electro girl group icons BLECTUM FROM BLECHDOM (tigerbeat6, deluxe, orthlorng) cherry pick a bunch of sounds from exitos and wrestle them to the mat, tag team style. World class techno DJ and cytrax label head JASPER (cytrax,force-inc) provides an ass shaking respite from all of the surrounding cerebral activity. LEXAUNCULPT (isophlux) makes DSP mince- meat out of brad laner's entire recording career to date, creating a track out of electric company samples right alongside medicine and amnesia. PIMMON (kraak, fatcat) slows down 'knotted' to a sickly dub crawl which in turn descends into a grid of treated piano chords. PTHALOCYANINE (a-musik,planet-mu,plug research,pthalo) secretly raids electric company's website for source material and turns out a turbulent and woozy sound-seascape reminiscent of aphex twins most extreme drum n bass workouts. LAFMS veteran TOM RECCHION (birdman) shows us all why he is the master loopist. bow down. ELECTRIC COMPANY couldn't stand the idea of not being on his own remix record so he avoids electronic composition altogether for a warm acoustic guitar piece right before KIM CASCONE (ritornell,raster-noton) grafts the most experimental bits of "exitos" together in a surprisingly melodic fashion. FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER (mille plateaux,raster-noton,12k) resources various specks of sonic dust from 'wednes3' and coaxes an almost reggae groove from it.
