I can't remember a great deal about the Oh No Ono album except for the fact that Clinton was pretty keen on it. Not much of a frame of references for this set of remixes but I'll give it a shot.. Man of the moment Caribou contributes a surprisingly straight-up techno banger that's undoubtedly the main draw with its waves of satisfyingly battering percussion. The second track is (I guess) them remixing themselves in a style which recalls quite a lot of Zomby's stuff with its gloopy 8-bit stylings.. Perhaps like a poppier version of some of the stuff he did in that Hyperdub double pack. Zambri isn't Zomby and his mix is more chaotic and stop-start while The Depreciation Guild do a bit of a dubby, shoegazey job of things.

* Mega-Limited remix EP, 500 only for Europe.

* "IF ANIMAL COLLECTIVE CAN BE CREDITED WITH UPDATING THE MERCURY REV/FLAMING LIPS COSMIC- POP TEMPLATE, THEN OH NO ONO BLAST IT INTO THE STRATOSPHERE ON A ROCKET OF PRECOCIOUS TALENT." UNCUT - 4/5

* CARIBOU weighs in with his 'liquid techno' stroked remix of 'Eleanor Speaks', SHLOHMO the West Coast indie hip- hopper and Wedidit Collective offers a blippy, bouncy take on 'Swim'. Coming up close behind is hotly tipped Brooklyn- based sister-fronted outfit ZAMBRI with an echoey, bruised darkwave distortion that takes 'Eleanor Speaks' deep into dystopia. New York's PHENOMENAL HANDCLAP BAND give 'Swim' an understated cosmic disco revamp while THE DEPRECIATION GUILD (who dabble in a side project called THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART) take Internet Warrior into a mirrored hall of shoegazy, mindbending effects.
