Title: Wixel plays Sonic Youth - Expressway To Yr Skull (Long Champs Bonus Beats)
Artist: Sonic Youth/Wixel/The Long Champs
Label: Self Released
Cat Number:
Genre: Adding Another
I came across this track as a free download on Tici Taci alumni The Long Champs Bandcamp page, and it’s a stunner. The original is by Sonic Youth. However, it was reworked on an edits album by Wixel so, this is the result of said composotion going twice through the editing mangel. The original is a seven minute epic of what I would describe as percussion wrapped around guitar, the flowering of which results in a sort of ambient wall of sound that fades and dissipates toward the end, but the tapering off is almost the most interesting part. Wixel’s version extracts the holographic white noise and turns it into an uplifiting chasm of beatless joy, while The Long Champs quite literally putshis own stamp on the tune by adding the proverbial bonus beats. Something that the rework had been crying out for and, fortunately was given in the most perfect of circumstances. Sunrise or set ender on a plate.
