Thom Yorke: 'The Eraser Remixes' by Four Tet and Christian Vogel (XL) I was given this to review mainly, I think, because I'm a fan of Four Tet. I'm a little confused however as on the sleeve, the information for side A indicates that there's a mix by Four Tet and a mix by Christian Vogel. On listening, the two tracks on the A side actually sound like they were re-mixed by Mr Hebden. So a big boo boo by the folks at XL methinks. Four Tet adds his freeform rhythmatics, glistening atmospherics and glissandos with a little bass stab on the second cut. Vogel, on the flip, adds an elasticated bass throb, distorted interruptions, cavernous FX and some subliminal sinewave twists. Kinda twisted Cheap label style techno.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
