Summary: Freakin amazing!
Comment: Shoooooooooot...Telefon Tel Aviv and their signature sound shining through all of these re-mixed songs! It's freakin amazing. Their beats are always exquisite, and the melodies always lush. Charles and Joshua have taken these songs and totally made them their own in that extra special TTA way. Nobody does music the way these guys do. Please, I implore you -- purchase this disc. And if you don't have'em yet, get their first three releases as well: Fahrenheit Fair Enough, Immediate Action CD single, and Map of What Is Effortless.
Truly the most unique sounds, drum cutting-bleeping-snipping-stuttering-glitching-tweaking, guitar sliding, string orchestrating, swooshing and swooping this way and that. GET IT! ALL OF IT.

Summary: Biggest surprise of the year (at least so far...)
Comment: Having seen these guys live, I really wasn't expecting too much from this album, though I know their studio work is far more polished and coherent than their shows might lead you to believe. They seem to have been permanently tagged by one track that's now five years old, Fahrenheit Fair Enough. Which was what caught my ear the first time I heard them. Just a one-track pony?
Nope.
Remixes Compiled is a streamlined sonic surprise. Many of the tracks are vocal, the musical styles of the tracks are wide-ranging, yet the whole album feels totally cohesive, glued together with clicks, blips, and glitches. There's such immense detail in every track-- layers of sounds, sweeping and fading in and out, beautifully timed, always fascinating. It's like listening to imagination.
I'm sold.
