On Le Rire EP Jared Wilson (7777 - Skudge / Detroit) leads the way with a pest Chicago-house inspired rework, devilishly and deliciously analog without whittling down to a mere old-school homage, a sort of US-acid-dubstep version of Addison Groove, with a taste of slacker Jak-beat for the Nirvana generation! A melodic decomposer, Scottish Dam Mantle (Warp - Ghostly International / Glasgow) deceitfully feigns to mellow with what could at first glance seem like an edit. However deep excavations into the intense choir of >Voyage vers l Harmonie< leads to a surreal confrontation between a Slum Village like beat and a post-industrial version of Melody Nelson. Thundery atmospheres, slippery slopes… the best way to pay tribute to Luc Marianni. Famous for his duo as well as his label Syncom Data, Nukubus (Bunker / Rotterdam) is nonetheless an inspired soloist, as this breathtaking remix once again proves. The 11 minutes long krautrock tunnel leaves many envious of its authenticity and sheer technical virtuosity. This swirling reinterpretation of Mariannis work manages to leave the original behind and come into its own. Its out of respect for the original work that Nukubus requested to be credited only as a remixer. If youve bothered to read the few lines above, please remember it is both easier and wiser to form your own opinion with the vinyl in your own two hands. Please note that the distribution of these EPs will be accompanied by some very limited original editions of Luc Mariannis vinyls
