Cheek to cheek with beautiful, elegaic covers (Marisa Nadler's time-machine take on "Clowne Towne" abducts the implosive sound of the original and whisks it away to sunburnt 1970s singer-songwriter territory) are crashing remixes (like the off kilter "Ceremony" that sounds like someone playing two different cracked Joy Division records at once), "Remixed and Covered" serves as either a fine introduction to the raw nerves and sexual politics of Xiu Xiu, or a perfect respite for fans.

i just listened to the covers record, now moving on to the remixes. There was some really jems on that album and then there was some songs i had to skip after a minute or two,,well just Oxbow's cover, it sounded like a drunken friend, sitting in the bedroom at a party singing to some chick he think he can impress with his musical skills, but he sounds like a dog being hit by a car. I've got to give props to Larsen, Marissa Nadler and Her Space Holiday for totally make those songs their own. I love it when a artist can do that.

I'm on the second track on the remixes and it's off to an awesome start! good stuff. this is my friend's album, she let me preview before she got her hands on it, since she knows i'm such a fan, and i'm pretty happy with it.

so far.
