Zwei Tracks aus David August's Album D'ANGELO erfahren den Remix zweier Titanenen ihres Fachs. Ron Trent rekonstruiert ELYSIAN FIELDS in einen sich langsam entwickelnden Soulful-House-Jam. Rafael Anton Irisarri dekonstruiert FLORENCE, um es neu und grösser und noch cineastischer als das Original zusammenzusetzen. War die Erschaffung des Originalalbums schon ein zutiefst persönlicher Prozess, so klingen die neuen Interpretationen authentisch und stehen in einer Linie mit David's ursprünglichem Ethos.[info from Distribution]

On the heels of two successful album tours through Europe and North America, two tracks from David August’s album D’Angelo are given two radically different takes from two titans of their fields, on David’s first official remix EP. The creation and story behind the original album showed a deeply personal process, and these new interpretations feel natural, and in tune with David’s original ethos.

Ron Trent reconstructs and extends Elysian Fields into a slowly evolving soulful house jam. Insistent drums, blissful guitar and piano themes are all perfectly interlocked, with David’s plaintive vocals reconstituted into a textured layer flowing underneath and above.

On the flip side, Rafael Anton Irisarri deconstructs Florence and rebuilds it into something grander, even more filmic than the original. Sparse, dripping piano, warbling, fizzing drones, and haunting spectres of voices phasing throught the mists bring to mind distant memories of a city, removed from any conception of time and space. Trying to remember.[info from Distribution]
