Cornelius proves that he gives even better than he gets as he remixes favorite cuts from artists who contribute to the simultaneously released FM. He lets the heart of each song hammer away while he fiddles with inspired sonic treatments dredged up from the depths of his sampling vaults. He runs wild with U.N.K.L.E.'s "Ape Shall Never Kill Ape," revealing the song's speed-jacked desire to lurch into chaotic punk ska. He empties a junk drawer of bells, whistles, and computer glitches onto the tracks of Money Mark's lighthearted pop-reggae tune "Maybe I'm Dead," without breaking its stride. Buffalo Daughter's "Great Five Lakes" takes on a menacing reverb sheen remaking this super-smart power trio into a ghostly echo of rock's future. The highlight is the dance-floor bombast of Coldcut's "Atomic Moog 2000," with its motoring drum & bass snapped by funky drum breaks and sonic interference. Full-blown reconceptualizations, such as turning the High Llama's "Homespin Rerun" into an electro-marimba tropicalismo line--plus previously unreleased bonus tracks--make this album the more interesting Cornelius disc of the two. CM is the height of the remixers art. --Dean Kuipers --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
