MH-231 Her Space Holiday - The Young Machines (Remixed)  Marc Bianchi (Her Space Holiday) has joined with an all-star line-up for The Young Machines Remixed, a companion piece to his 2003 Mush release, The Young Machines. Each remixer was given one track from the original album to dissect and reconstruct, and they have exceeded expectations. The styles of the acts involved are as diverse as they are impressive. The Album Leaf, Arab Strap, Matmos, Super Furry Animals, Dntel, Blockhead, Broken Spindles, Boom Bip, Stereolab, and Nobody have each delivered a mix that holds true to a key element of the original and builds around it in their own unique style. From IDM influenced electronic productions through psychedelic hip-hop meltdowns - from organic flavored reworkings to Japanese influenced kitsch, The Young Machines Remixed succeeds as a cohesive album while never prohibiting the artists involved to shine on their own terms. |

| Usually a remix album means "well, this looks totally unnecessary" or "this is twelve bad versions of the same song!" Happily, you'll find an element of variety and pleasant surprise lying under Her Space Holiday's Christmas tree of laid-back pop-electronic mildness. With these entirely great guest remixes (Stereolab, Matmos, Dntel, Arab Strap and more), you can rest assured that these dreamy sounds are a gift that keeps on giving. - Tokion |
