A
set of reggae remixes, with just a tinge of electronic sampling and
altering mixed in. These are my favorite kind: not the “turn the
original content on its ear and change it into something new”
variety of mixes, but simply a re-imagining of familiar
content/concepts. Without ever having heard the original pieces that
this is based on, I can still get a feel for what it used to be
almost as clearly as what it has become, which makes for a
phenomenally interesting listen. Some songs are more clearly
experimented with, like 'Revolt of the Slave,' with its reverbs and
electric percussion interspersed, but for the majority I get the
feeling of the original (again, without necessarily having heard it,
though some sound vaguely familiar), but changed enough that the
mixer's presence is clearly felt and differentiated. I'm still in
relatively unfamiliar territory when it comes to listening to reggae,
but if this is what I can expect in the future, I look forward to
more.
Oh
yeah, minor sub-note: it also just sounds good.
