After Again (Remixes) [Limited Edition] (Uk) Vinyl Record

.After Again (Remixes) is the remix album from last year's.After by CXBXT (Tujiko Noriko, Adrian Corker and George Barton). DJ Trystero (Trilogy Tapes, Felt) takes the slow drum machine jam of Toku No Minato and turns it into a pair of deep, dark techno cuts, one 'All Frills' the other stripped back with some old school Detroit drum programming. Koshiro Hino's YPY alter ego turns Yasashii Sayanora into a nearly nine-minute industrial dub, taking Corker's Bass, Barton's Thai gongs and Tujiko's voice and twisting them into strange shapes. As counterpoint London's DJ ojo (Blank Mind) makes a blissful dubbed out groove around harp glissandi from a child's toy and Barton's metallic percussion. Shojiro Nakaoka bounces stereo versions as excerpts of his longer generative code-based work The original work, released on digital art platform Objkt, takes the stems of Shakou, creating a browser based work generating endless shifting tides of black and white image and abstracted sound again with a strong dub flavor. Finally, the album ends with the only track that preserves the whole vocal performance from the original, as Tashi Wada takes Aurora Sagashi and reframes Tujiko's lilting vocals as a nocturne, rearranging and re-harmonizing the lullaby-like lines to the sway of his organ playing. The vinyl is released in an edition of 200 and comes with an insert, Design by Joji Koyama and Mastered by Stephan Mathieu for Schwebung Mastering.
