When commissioning remixes, the best labels think outside the box. That s exactly what Firecracker s Lindsay Todd did when seeking out producers to rework tracks from Linkwood s excellent Expressions album. On this second 12- in an ongoing series, that faith has paid dividends. Whereas the original version of Ignorance Is Bliss was a warm, woozy, sun-kissed deep house affair, Healing Force Project has reinvented it as a stargazing chunk of 21st century space jazz, complete with twinkling chords, low-slung double bass and reverb-laden drum solos. The Musephased interpretation of Love Lost by Kimochi label head Area sticks closer to the ultra-deep, melancholic vibe of Linkwood s original, but adds a frisson of excitement via bubbling, Detroit-influenced electronics and hypnotic rhythms. • Healing Force Project & Area Remixes • Strictly limited vinyl • Silkscreened artwork by House Of Traps & Al White • Custom, unique Obi-strip artwork
