5.0 out of 5 stars Futuristic jazz., June 8, 2002

"Remixes" strikes me as a somewhat misleading title for this CD. Reconstructions, Reconfigurations, Remodels... Maybe one of those titles would have been more fitting. The songs here are all totally reconstructed and only hold a passing resemblance to the originals. Amidst the organic jazzy instrumentation and DJ qualities, samples from the original tracks are integrated for familiarity. All these electronica tracks have now undergone a complete metamorphosis into ambient, jazzy sonic architectures. The effects range from beautiful to atmospheric to haunting. The songs are a heavy supply of downtempo, jazz-inflected electronic psychotropics bound to please many different kinds of listeners. I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minimalistic Perfection, November 30, 2001

Even though most if their music is made electronically there is something very old school and organic about them. Their sound is minimal but by no means empty. Underneath the soft texture of their music you can here many samples and instrument flowing harmoniously. Ther are also very true to their band name..this music could easily be a backgrould score to and cool movi. But the beauty of this particular cd is that this music serves well as background score as well as in your face jazz! There are a few vocal touches here and there but the cd is instrumental for the most part. My favourit track on this cd is the first one. Over this cd is very intecse and cool and very enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars cinematically orchestrated, December 7, 2004

This cd has made a broad jump into an arrangement of perfection of previous work. Each track has subtle layers that provide a complex composition. It is clear that these guys have the ability to set the standard in their genre. Which genre is it anyway? In this cd, they are all of it, and it's damn good.
