Japan's Silent Poets (Michiharu Schimoda and Tkhiro Haruno)
recently released their wonderfully brooding album, 'To Come'. It's
sensitive combination of orchestral strings, urban poetry, hip hop
motifs and detached loneliness earned it accolades from all sides.
Not content with coming up with one highly listenable long player
though, the duo have decided to deliver a remixed version that
offers all the songs to various remixers and changes the vibe
entirely. Pretty much all the tracks get reworked with the
exception of 'the corner'. Yellow's Tom and Joyce take care of
'Come Raising', turning it from a dub-house entity into a gorgeous,
ultra-chilled groove.
The skeletal down tempo beats of 'Where The Sidewalk Ends' are
superceded by King Britt's tougher broken house jam which lend
another angle to Kirsty Hawkshaw's exquisite vocals, while The
Mighty Bop removes the elegiac strings of 'Someday' and replaces
them with a summery hip hop groove.
Nu skool soulsters Spacek keep hold of the orchestral vibe of
'Prisons' but add their own twisted soul sonics while the
formidable 2 banks of 4 also rework the track into a subtler, more
complacent affair.
Restless Soul re-sculpt 'Save The Day' and french house producer
Julien Jabre deals formally with 'To Come', adding some dope
beatwork.
It all makes for a less dramatic, more insouciant and generally
more danceable and uplifting version of the album which, amazingly,
sounds almost as good as the impressive original. --dotmusic
