TYCHO Vinilo y CD

Review: Two years and two months have passed since Scott Hansen delivered his fifth studio album Awake and there's a strong rumour that his sixth is en route. In the meantime, Ghostly have channelled the spirits to commission nine fittingly far-out, heavily textured remixes. From the faraway jungle breakbeats and spiralling arpeggios of Nitemove's shake-up to the sparse flute flexing and smoky beats of RJD2's jam by way of warped, time-bending nuances of Bibio's take, the all-star cast deliver an all-star collection of versions. This will keep us more than happy until the next Tycho tale arrives.

Review: One of the more propulsive cuts from Tycho's album for Ghostly International enjoys a single release with two apt remixes that zoom in on the ambient qualities in the droney chap's music. The Keep Shelly In Athens mix takes great pleasure in letting languid vocals ring out until they become pads of their own, over cavernous hits and porous decays, while a politely glitchy beat ticks away underneath, only to bubble up aggressively in a crescendo of troubled kick drums. Memoryhouse meanwhile let the warbling pitch reign supreme in a positively stretched out slice of electronica that drifts on by with ease.
