The High Llamas - Lollo Rosso remix EP
Label - v2
Released - 1998
Style - Electronic/Experimental/Groovy


I love this record. It's like groovy electronic lounge muzik infused with plenty of quirky analogue weirdness. Sorry to say I have yet to check out the originals, but I doubt I'd enjoy them more than these remixes.

(from channel4.com)
For this seven-track remix album, the High Llamas ignore the usual constraints of the form, bypassing mere dancefloor utility in favour of genuinely interesting sonic reinventions. The remixers - Mouse On Mars, Cornelius, Schneider TM, Jim O'Rourke, Kid Loco, Stock Hausen and Walkman, and highest Llama Sean O'Hagan-mostly keep only the barest outlines of the original tracks, refashioning each in their own styles.
Mouse On Mars' wibbly-wobbly analogue synthesizers, Cornelius' playful Brian Wilson homages, Kid Loco's slinky groove, and O'Rourke's soundscapes are probably the most successful, but there's little tedium on this 46-minute album.
