CROCODILE SHOP - Soviet  [limited to 999]
Songs: 13   Time: 59:38
Soviet is a new MCD (?) from Crocodile Shop.  On this CD you'll find remixes of Crocodile Shop by bands such as Think Tank, Android Lust, SMP, Ish, as well as some they reworked themselves.  Taken from the Pain CD, Soviet gets the extreme work over by Android Lust, I, Parasite, and Crocodile Shop.  CS's own mix is a part noise / part dance piece with a staticy rhythm, raw beats, technofied sequences, and severely manipulated vocals.  Musically, the I, Parasite mix is less abrasive and more atmospheric, but the vocals retain that peculiar, slightly gnarled edge.  Shikhee (a.k.a. Android Lust) keeps Soviet on more of a straighter line by keeping it toned down, but making it very danceable.  She uses a more rhythmic approach to her mix, allowing the beats to overpower the sequences.  Collide's mix of Higher is a dense dance piece with a nice layered vocal effect and pounding, militaristic beats.  SMP's remix of Funeral March relies heavily on the trip-hop styled beat, mixed with subtle synth lines and a heavy rhythm.  This is just what you'd expect to hear from these masters of rhythmic industrial. Same Cars Crashing is mixed by both Shawn Brice projects (Battery and Ivoux) with the later being a cold, mellow soundtrack piece and the former being a steadfast electro piece with rapid beats and raw vocals.  The diversity between the various guest remixers is vast and each and every track displays a tad of their own style, mixed nicely in with the solid electronic sounds of Crocodile Shop.
