V.A. - Kammerflimmer Kollektief . Rmx Part 1 (12")
label . staubgold
release date . october 2005
The first part of a 2x12" series on Staubgold provides four highly distinct remixes contributed by Jan Jelinek (~Scape), Aoki Takamasa (Progressive Form/Fat Cat), Nôze (Circus Company) and David Last (theAgriculture). The result is a marvelous blend of rhythm and space covered with diffused grooves that is as varied and eclectic as the mix of involved artists. Kammerflimmer Kollektief's "Absencen" album - also released on Staubgold in May this year - forms the basis for this remix compilation which is filled with timeless instrumental, almost jazzlike themes often reduced to sparse acoustic elements.
David Last's remix of "Matt" turns the stately tempo of the original into an interweaving athmosphere of suspense and lively acoustic rhythmic patterns; coming together as a marvelous dynamic whole with an ethnic touch. Aoki's interpretation of "Nach dem Regen" (after the rain) strips down the original to it's bare bones while creating dense and inspiring moments full of emotive warmth and lush melancholy.
The "Lichterloh Remix" by Nôze blends slightly house-influenced grooves with refreshing saxophone themes that are turning into a truly catchy dance-peace after a sudden breakpoint in the second half; while keeping it's own charm and subtlety. The closing track by Jelinek rounds out this delightful mini-compilation with a floating almost spherical piece of electronica, melting shifting drones with loose and fluid instrumental themes.
