RNK: Zealous for zooming this alphabetical and zany joke out, Lymbyc Systym, my all-time favorite y-overusers and live-handclap recorders, sound somewhat zonked in remix country - half Mexican hats in the Arizona sun, half abused alligators - but together with peers like Daedelus and Bibio, this is zapped up and the ultimate winner. Zeus! SEVEN Who said that luck comes in small portions? One of the most shamelessly overlooked albums of 2007 gets the high-quality remix treatment (eg. Bibio, The Album Leaf, Daedelus, and the Lymbycs themselves), not for a quick cash-in, but because the new versions actually add something to the original. So good that it almost feels like a regular follow-up. - Lodown |
