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. |

| I can't say that I am a big Her Space Holiday fan, but I am a big electronica fan, so I really enjoyed this album. Ten artists were each given a track from The Young Machines to play with, and this album is the result. The tracks by Matmos and Boom Bip venture into IDM territory, Blockhead transforms his track into smooth hip-hop, and Stereolab dabbles in kitsch. Other artists include the Album Leaf, Arab Strap, Super Furry Animals, Dntel, Broken Spindles and Nobody. - Impact Press |
