  • They Say...

    The San Francisco trio Numbers let its 2002 album, Life, go through the Tigerbeat6 remix paddy wagon, with a predictable few great tracks, a handful of passable attempts, and a few total missteps. This album buds off with indie hip-hop impresario Gold Chains doing a classic, somewhat underwhelming skit. Stars as Eyes detours from the decided dance orientation of the album to use Indra Dunis' Tortoise-style drums and ambient noise not unlike Jim O'Rourke's more esoteric compositions ("I Have Headache This Big," a remix of the original "I'm Shy"). Also notable is Kid 606's no-apologies melody and new wavy dance infusion on "We Like Having These Things," a rare turn to approachability for this distortion specialist. While some may dislike the slick Depeche Mode qualities of G.D. Luxxe's mix, the true buzzkills are more of the over-avanting quality, like DAT Politics' cheap speed-induced slander of "Driving Song." Luckily, this overthought is kept on low, allowing Death to be more of a remix album in the classic sense than a display of the much-overused deconstruction techniques that many of these remixers have on their resumés.
