I quite enjoyed that OUTPUTMESSAGE album that came out on Output. Not enough to take one but I was happy that it was on in the background while I constantly confuse myself. Here is a 12" (vinyl only release) which features 5 remixes of Sommeil thanks to those people at Melodic Records. The mixes aren't really by anyone I've heard of but there is one by Working For A Nuclear City. Overall it's decent electronica and the 3rd track reminds me of that band called Maps. There's a couple of more electro-ee tracks on there 'n all. A quality release already...The latest release from Outputmessage - aka New York-born Bernard Emmanuel Farley - is an intriguing prospect: five unique remixes of Sommeil, a highlight of his 2006 album ‘Nebulae’. 400 only, grab em fast!.
A celebrated remixer himself, Outputmessage has enlisted a few friends to give their own slant on the Kraftwerk-inspired original.
First up is Bernard’s own reworking of the track. "My intention was to take Sommeil and make it more upbeat and bright," he says. "I like all the off- beats that I added to the original melody." Next, labelmates Working For A Nuclear Free City add their warped, space-rock stylings to Bernard’s electronic original. Scissor Sisters-approved electro pop artist My Robot Friend collaborated with Outputmessage to make the Marcheurs de Sommeil remix that strays far from the original track.
On the flipside, the enigmatic American Pop Band (their identity is shrouded in mystery) add a pulsing remix to the collection. Somehow, it sounds both electro and psychedelic. Lastly, Person does the decent thing for DJs, supplying a club-friendly final cut.
Tracklist:
1. Sommeil (Ukemi mix) 2. Sommeil (Working For A Nuclear Free City remix) 3. Marcheurs de Sommeil (Sleepwalkers remix) 4. Sommeil (American Pop Band remix) 5. Sommeil (Person remix)
