A remix package demands to be judged on its own terms inasmuch as what’s the point unless the track is going, to an extent, be turned inside out. So looking at this quartet somewhat through the looking glass, I have to say that I’m impressed. The broad scope of Abdelwahed’s artistry is reflected in the choice of versions on show here. There is a panoramic feel to each tune, none more so than the remix of ‘5/5’ by Lord of the Isles, for sheer depth it’s difficult to beat the drama of Enyang Ha’s take on ‘Rabbouni’, while both ‘Ababab’ and ‘Fdhiha’ provide more uptempo fare; the former being a bleak, industrial stomp, and the latter an acidic, breaks-infused big room banger.
