Pedro makes hip hop in the same way that DJ Shadow and Prefuse make hip hop. It's beats, but they're dirty and glitchy and have a life to them. So it's really no surprise that when it came time for his remix EP he grabbed Scott Heron, Four Tet and Danger Mouse. All of the remixes are fair. I posted the Prefuse because it's the one that most people would be interested to hear. However, the track by british-based Cherrystones is a much more compelling listen. Anyway, Scott turned in this remix while out on tour, but he doesn't phone it in. I haven't heard his track for the Mars Volta, but my guess is that it has paycheck written all over it. Maybe that's just the cynic in me. This track in here is typical Prefuse, with glitchy, stutter-step beats, with the occasional random orchestra breakdown thrown in for good measure. - Music for Robots
