• Citay’s 2007 album ‘Little Kingdom’ made reference
to everything from Thin Lizzy and acoustic Led
Zeppelin, to Popul Vuh and early Mike Oldfield. So,
when the band started asking remixers to rework tracks
from ‘Little Kingdom’, it caused more than a little
surprise. As it turns out, the world needs Citay’s
‘Remixes’.
• From the ambient textures of White Rainbows’ ‘Eye
On The Dollar’ remix to Cornershop’s Anthony
Saffery adding sitar and percussion to ‘First Fantasy’,
these are anything but typical remix rave-ups. These
Are Powers’ Brenmar (aka Bill Salas) gives
‘Moonburn’ a playful, skittering treatment, while Black
Mountain’s Steve McBeam adds his effected vocals to
‘Former Child’, the end result sounding more like
Metallica than Aphex Twin. While some remixes use
the Citay originals as a foundation for embellishments,
others simply take the audio as found sounds and source
material. Either way, the reinterpretations of Citay’s
music on ‘Remixes’ is surprising and eye-opening.
