Everybody likes a good bootleg don't they? Well some people in the country of France were a bit sick of the classic Mask 500 EP on Musik Aus Strom/Skam being out of reach of all but the wealthiest vinyl consumer so they've produced a high quality booty to thoroughly piss off the IDM elite. This lengthy EP (more an LP) is legendary for having a plethora of exciting remixes/mash-ups of old 80's electro, pop, soul/funk and hip-hop faves by Squarepusher, Gescom & Boards of Canada and many others under a variety of aliases. BOC's cool as fuck re-rub of 'Midas Touch' , the D-Breeze track and Chaos AD's utterly insane Jungle/Reggae/old skool rave "cover" of 'Jump' by Van Halen are undoubted highlights (for me) but as usual with this sort of thing, there's summat for everyone. No doubt a major inspiration for the Criminal EPs on Planet Mu, miss this at yr peril.Limited reissue of this SKAM 10 track remix LP done in an IDM style (circa 1999). HELL INTERFACE (BOARDS OF CANADA) remix MIDNIGHT STAR's "MIDAS TOUCH", HAKAN LIBDO remixes DAVID BOWIE's "ASHES TO ASHES", GESCOM (AUTECHRE) remix BDP, CHAOS D (SQUAREPUSHER) remixes VAN HALEN's "JUMP" and more.
