SIRS Vinilo y CD

Review: Daniel Klein's first album as SIRS, last year's "Banana Hard & Disco Kisses", was something of a slept-on gem, packed to the rafters with summery, disco-tinged treats. Here he showcases a quartet of new versions of tracks from that set, courtesy of a quietly impressive line-up of remixers. Austin Alto kicks things off with a chunky, synth-bass-propelled house revision of "Night Wind", before Yam Who brilliantly re-imagines Stee Downes collaboration "Forever" as a string-laden slab of revivalist disco-boogie warmth. Elsewhere, previously unheard bonus cut "Turkish Disco Folk" is a percussive and off-kilter affair that lives up to its title, while the Danilo Braca Acid Orchestra Remix of Bee Gees cover "If I Can't Have You" is a sparkling slab of nu-disco/electro fusion.
