The American Analog Set, "Updates"
Tiger Style
For this 6-track EP, AmAnSet has enlisted the remixing assistance oflabel mates Her Space Holiday as well as Belgian Morr Musicup-and-comer Styrofoam. The EP kicks off with a re-working of an oldertrack, followed by a charming cover of Her Space Holiday's "TheseDays'. Both of the remixers, whose expertise lies primarily inelectronic-based music, fuse digital elements into tracks from theTexas quintet's most recent release, 'Know By Heart.' Marc Bianchi ofHSH puts an edgy spin on "Aaron & Maria", and turns the title trackinto a funky trip hop feast of sliced and diced vocals with anunobtrusive touch of drum 'n' bass. Both remixes feature the orchestralgilding present on much of Her Space Holiday's last album. Styrofoam'sremixes have the warmth and subtlety that is signature of so many ofthe Morr Music artists. He adds gently crunchy beats to "The Postman",stripping the original of nearly everything but the original vocaltrack, and turns the instrumental "We're Computerizing and We JustDon't Need You Anymore" into a delicate ambient piece. 'Updates' isplesant treat for fans of all the artists and labels involved.
