The KM Editions series, admirably helmed by the mysterious Keyboard Masher, has always been one of the more interesting re-edit/rework labels. Past installments have touched on krautrock, disco, Balearica, funk, Italo and what can only be described as electronic oddities. This sixth volume offers up three more impressively remixed, overdubbed and reedited gems. Theres naturally much to admire, not least the OMD style woozy synth-pop of Stolen Shapes (Stealing Rework), which should tickle the fancy of anyone of a Balearic disposition. The same can be said about the immersive, sun-kissed pianos and shuffling grooves of -Astral Playground. There s also a chunk of silly but, perversely, rather good French cod-reggae in the shape of Le Cod-, arguably our pick of a strong bunch.
