Listening to the original productions on this forthcoming double pack is to be listening to music that feels constrained by the petty boundaries it’s been corralled within. However, were it not to be under such surveillance there would just be one gigantic freak out and then where would we be? We have here a singular take on electro, one built on exuberance and unorthodoxy from the cross-pollinating mind of a character at one with his machines. The remixes offer individual enough interpretations, the originals being in a class of their own; and it’s striking that ‘My Time’, while not necessarily my favourite here, makes a lasting impression, both in it’s manic, breaks-fuelled original version and the nursery rhyme on crack ambience of the Happa Jabes remix. Seriously though, this is brilliant. Every second.
