Long awaited cd issue of Monolake's killer Plumbicon remixes project. First up is minimal techno's man of the moment Sleeparchive who weighs in with exactly the kind of stripped killer you'd expect, all Sahko inspired sine tone bleeps coupled with Henke's tight electronic drum sounds, crisp and shockingly good. The Rebreather mix comes next and is immense - all sweeping strings, delayed bass tones, thick synthesized patterns and crisp percussion - the entire track could have been layered over any number of eye popping visual sequences and would have made for a breathless soundtrack of the finest kind. Following on from this the Dedbeat mix could easily have been inconsequential but the Scape stalwart manages to turn in a dubbed out rewire that brings to mind Rhythm and Sound at their most electronic or Pole at his most complex. Great stuff all round, and I shouldn't forget that the cd contains an exclusive 10 minute mix from the man Henke himself!
