It saw the pair working in perfect harmony with their freak flags flying, in an environment where nothing was off limits. The remixers have tapped into this freewheeling spirit for an eclectic collection of tracks that are more than worthy of the source material.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKicking off proceedings, the Paris-based duo \u003cstrong\u003eFROID Dub\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ransom Note) bring their blend of dub and wave to the mighty ‘\u003cem\u003eEmpyean\u003c\/em\u003e’, resulting in a dubtastic soundclash between the \u003cstrong\u003eMad Professor\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eHardfloor \u003c\/strong\u003eon a nitrazepam bender. Jordan from nu-gaze heroes \u003cstrong\u003ebdrmm\u003c\/strong\u003e tears into ‘\u003cem\u003eAmigA\u003c\/em\u003e’, upping the ceremonial pace with some clattering breakbeats and an acid- spattered denouement, while \u003cstrong\u003eTom Sharkett\u003c\/strong\u003e taps into the melancholy at the heart of the wayward pop banger ‘\u003cem\u003eNothing Ever\u003c\/em\u003e’, making \u003cstrong\u003eDu Blonde’s\u003c\/strong\u003e vocal seem even more thwarted over a shuffling indie-dance beat reminiscent of \u003cstrong\u003eKylie’s \u003c\/strong\u003e‘\u003cem\u003eJustify My Love\u003c\/em\u003e’. The genre-blending DJ and producer \u003cstrong\u003eYu Su\u003c\/strong\u003e strips back the fizzing folk stomp of ‘\u003cem\u003eScattered\u003c\/em\u003e’ to its jagged guitar licks and acidic pulse, isolating Andy’s disorientated spoken lyrics for a track that evokes Forest Sword’s stark Dagger Paths or a lysergic take on Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Western soundtracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Sen\u003c\/strong\u003e returns with his third re-rub for Bytes, following his hugely popular remixes for GLOK (‘\u003cem\u003eDissident\u003c\/em\u003e’\/’\u003cem\u003eDirty Hugs\u003c\/em\u003e’), increasing the psychedelic funk of ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Witching Hour\u003c\/em\u003e’ with lashings of bongo and Kosmiche flourishes. \u003cstrong\u003eDanny “Legowelt” Wolfers\u003c\/strong\u003e brings sleazy squat-rave energy to the blissed-out ‘E-Theme’, delivering basement haze and cosmic escape in equal measure. Closing the album is a sinister rework of ‘\u003cem\u003eNothing Ever (Reprise)\u003c\/em\u003e’, where \u003cstrong\u003eXylitol\u003c\/strong\u003e (Planet Mu) channels the yearning spirit of \u003cstrong\u003eHarmonia \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eCluster\u003c\/strong\u003e, drawing away from the early Factory Records\/electro vibe of the original towards ambient jungle territory and the layered breaks of \u003cstrong\u003eDJ Crystl\u003c\/strong\u003e, while retaining its dark soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original artwork has been remixed by the Nottingham-based illustrator Nick Taylor, with the geometric yet soulful cover image influenced by the record sleeves of the abstract artist Josef Albers, as well as Andy’s request that it should be “the opposite of AI”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
