Release Notes:
In 2007, Reverend and The Makers achieved gold status with their top five album
æThe State Of ThingsÆ, three hit singles (including the ubiquitous æHeavyweight
Champion Of The WorldÆ), an almost constant presence on UK television, sell out
tours, festivals appearances and now here they are in 2008, bright eyed and
still on a mission. A remix concept should come as no surprise to R&TM fans with
JonÆs love of dance music being well known and his forays into DJing as Reverend
Soundsystem being legendary since the club residency of the same name in
Sheffield, where the band started on the road to success.
With the album tracks originally produced by the legendary Jagz Kooner, itÆs
little wonder they lend themselves so readily to the remix treatment. On the 7ö
Dubmeister Adrian Sherwood takes æSundown On The EmpireÆ and lovingly renders a
perfect roots-reggae vibe with JonÆs vocal melodies completely intact, while on
the B-side the dub does as it sayÆs on the tin, without vox. On the 12ö
Elektrons are in majestic form, taking the sardonic lyrics of æ18-30Æ, splicing
them with their trademark floor friendly twists, and banging the butt out of the
original. æThe MachineÆ gets a full-on, dayglo Infadels reworking into a jacking
peak time tweaker with a mad breakdown and old school analogues ricocheting from
the outset.
