ALL REMIXED BY "TELEFON TEL AVIV"
by soul seduction
JOSHUA EUSTIS and CHARLIE COOPER, the duo that
make up TELEFON TEL AVIV, have collected an album
of remixes culled from the first seven years of
their career. When the levee broke and their
hometown of New Orleans was virtually washed away
by Hurricane Katrina, TELEFON TEL AVIV was forced
to take inventory of their lives and careers. By
compiling their remix output onto one disc, they
offer a 50-minute, re-education of TELEFON TEL
AVIV and simultaneously highlight the sweeping
beauty and schizophrenic nature of their music.
The end result is a collection of tracks that are
disparate as TRENT REZNOR and PHIL RANELIN, but
thick as alligator jambalaya in the swamps of
Louisiana.
The new album - Remixes Compiled - follows EUSTIS
and COOPER chronologically through their labyrinth
of production work; beginning with the previously
unreleased NINE INCH NAILS remix from February of
2000. Having been the only song from their early
output recorded at REZNOR's Nothing Studios (and
consequently the only one not recorded in EUSTIS's
parents' house), it was actually the first song
they did under the name TELEFON TEL AVIV. These
early songs have a science-fiction sound, filled
to the brim with digital trickery and sound
design. The later pieces are more patient and
spread themselves out over profound soundscapes,
preserving sometimes only the chord progressions
from the original tracks.
EUSTIS and COOPER have no formula for remixing and
approach each track independently. The JOHN HUGHES
remix is loud and blown out, constructed with
sixty tracks of guitars. The remix of OLIVER
NELSON is built on a string arrangement with the
LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHAMBER ORCHESTRA, while the
BEBEL GILBERTO remix slowly allows itself to go
out of tune. There is also a great remix of
AMMONCONTACT, which finds TELEFON TEL AVIV teaming
up for a collaborative remix with JOHN HERNDON
(TORTOISE, ISOTOPE 217, etc) and LINDSAY ANDERSON
(L'ALTRA). Every track brings someone and
something new to the dinner table - with fans of
APPARAT rubbing elbows with followers of BEBEL
GILBERTO. NINE INCH NAILS fans can get a spoonful
of SLICKER, and jazz enthusiasts hear trombonist
PHIL RANELIN in a new light. These are slow-cooked
diagrams of everything the storms left behind and
all that we will need until the release of the
very next TELEFON TEL AVIV masterpiece.
