Regis, Shifted, Silent Servant, Worn and In Aeternam Vale have their way with tracks
from The KVB's 'Immaterial Visions' LP for Minimal Wave's Cititrax sublabel. Each
unit appears to relish the opportunity, altering the original's chemical make-up into
dark, rolling, contemporary wave aces. Regis really impresses with a swaggering
revision of 'Dayzed' reinforcing the hip-slung bass and galvanizing the snares to
reserved, shark-eyed and gripping effect. With 'I Only See The Lights' Shifted give
one of the best cuts in his arsenal, strongly recalling the adamantium skeleton of
Regis' remix for Ike Yard with its rolling bass and gasping vocal stabs. After a
spate of techno issues, Juan Mendez aka Silent Servant returns to the styles of his
immense 'Negative Fascination' LP and work for Tropic Of Cancer with a lean, uptempo
cold wave steppers mix of 'Pray To The Light Machine', and In Aeternam Vale do
untoward EBM triplet things with 'Lines'. The most curious cut comes from the
mysterious Worn, who've only appeared once to date on an Avian mix and here drag 'Old
Life' backwards through New beat style throbs and petrifying synth noise. Highly
recommended!
