LOGANMIX003: metempsychosis i
I originally had this elaborate plan to make a mixtape in which every artist remixed the subsequent track in the compilation (ie. Since I Left You [Cornelius Remix] would lead into I'm A Cuckoo [Avalanches Remix]), but this turned out to be a real pain in the ass and sounded really terrible (trust me, nobody wants to hear the Blur remix of Massive Attack's Angel).
Instead, by sheer inertia and torpor, the track-listing morphed into a general state of the union on the art of remixing during the past three years.
When the dust settled this included tracks from remix gods like Jacques Le Cont (aka. The Thin White Duke) to personal takes from legendary artists (ie. the Pet Shop Boys). Some of the songs are faithful interpretations with added thump for the dance-floor (ie. Phones Disco Edit), while others cast aside the original almost entirely. Like Hot Chip who reimagines the Scissor Sisters' Take Your Mama Out as if it were played by a kazoo marching band or Max Tundra who puts Franz Ferdinand in a game of dodgeball with ping-ponging Van Halen synths.
So you have to ask yourself: do ya, do ya wanna?

gracias por la compilacion
i particularly enjoyed tracks 3, 4, 7, and 10. it was kinda hard for me to get into some of them, not having heard the original, but the whole thing still got me grooving at work.
p.s. wtf ian? 114 minutes?
Jazzercise loves the Fischerspooner remix of Come Into My World.
They do a cool down to it, and it's great.
