Reich Remixed
“New Mexico bill upholds Constitution, spits in Feds’ eye” — noted in BoingBoing.net
I’m listening to Reich Remixed tonight. It’s a disc of electronica artists adding beats and generally messing about with the music of modern minimalist composer Steve Reich. In terms of complexity and musicality, the tracks on this disc are head and shoulders above most techno releases. The mixes veer towards being on the long side though — a bit of editing and brevity would help the overall feel of the disc.
If you’ve heard about Mr. Reich and are interested in where to begin with his music, I highly recommend this recording of his piece Music for 18 Musicians.
