But seriously, it feels to me like the the OAH CD is a set of cells arranged to form one organism, the remix disc is the same set re-rdered to create a different beast. The compositions (other than "is love", which appears on both discs) are very different, it's not like the tunes are being re-purposed for the dance floor, it's like the remixers were encouraged to create entirely new pieces. I particularly like the Carter Burwell remix, because he's one of my favorite film composers and it's interesting to hear what he does in this context. One interesting twist: the piece "Romance Refined" on the remix disc adds Tim Bowness' (very David Sylvain-esque) vocals to "Romance w/space also letted go", making the remix sound more like an original tune and the original sound more like a remix of the remix, if ya know what I mean... ____________________________________________ Dave Trenkel : improv@peak.org Minus Web Site: http://listen.to/minusmusic Minus MP3's: http://www.mp3.com/-minus- ____________________________________________
