...according to our on 23 February 2007.

It's no secret that we at the towers are massive fans of both Slow Loris and Northstation. Their last CD sold bucketloads and we've got a treat for you today! The Normstation CD EP! It's a 3 inch CD single which comes packaged in an origami fox! I shit you not. On the EP you have 5 tracks of remixes the Northstation lord has done and these particular folks are Hood, Halfset, Elsworth Cambs, Martin Finke, Herv. It's numbered of 100 copies and we've got 75 copies.... So what's it like?? Starting with the Hood mix it may as well be a Northstation composition... you can hear bits of the negatives in it but it's far removed from the original. Quality cut and pasted electronica.... Halfset I'm not massively aware of but the remix of their track reminds me of Julian Fane....very tasty....The Elsworth Cambs remix sounds nothing like the original again and it's pretty lush sounded (yet crazed) bedroom electronics..... really really cool. The Martin Finke mix is great as well. Singer songwritery thing over slightly skittery beats and extremely listenable! The final mix is from Herv is more bedroom electronics with strings which reminds us of Ddamage. A great great little EP and we're well excited about stocking it. This is an exclusive release from us or Slow Loris in Ireland. Fantasimo!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Northstation: Normstation (3”cd on Slow Loris – slo 20)
Normstation is the new release from Northstation, aka Dublin-based musician Steve Fanagan. It is a collection of remixes by Northstation of other people’s music; some tracks were reworked straight from their original cd mix; with others, Steve had the luxury of working with the original’s multitracks. The result is a collection of fractured beats, melodies, scratches and noises. As with all Slow Loris releases, this too is individually hand packaged; it comes in an origami foxhead made by Cat Hughes (www.thenaturetable.net). This release is limited to 100 numbered copies and is exclusively available from Norman Records.

Tracklist:
1. hood – the negatives
2. halfset – riversong
3. elsworth cambs – my eyes are woolin
4. martin finke – rain hits hard
5. herv – konnektquartet
