Well, you haven't offended me. I am fully aware that a lot of the music I listen to is stuff that only appeals to a very small percentage of the population. I'm never surprised or upset or offended when someone dislikes certain bands I like; I'm surprised when someone DOES like them. From: "Matt Evanosky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > its ok, but honestly, how can you remix low? > the beauty of low is the sheer simplicity of the sounds. Well, if you've heard it as you say, then you know the answer. None of the artists strictly "remixed" Low, they simply used bits of Low to create new songs. > the mogwai remix records are great because of the varied approaches to their > songs..i mean come on, hood ,3rd eye foundation, alec empire, arab strap , > all remixing yr record, one could do much worse... Well, I could say the exact same thing about the Low remix album. Neotropic, Tranquility Bass, DJ Vadim, Porter Ricks... it's pretty varied. > p.s. anyone remember adventures of pete and pete? pete is on those > ameritrade commersh and he's cool...... That was a great show. Pete needs to get more work than just commercials. My favorites were the one with Juliana Hatfield as a lunch lady and the one where Gordon Gano was a teacher.

Honestly, I could care less how an album comes to be made or who wants their name on it; all that concerns me is how it sounds, and -owL remix Low- sounds very, very good to me. I mean, Steve Albini has removed his production credit from the Pixies' -Surfer Rosa- and says he wishes he never did it. Does that make it a bad album? np:Him, "Cereality" -- Your pal, Rev.
