Review:
Mount Kimbie's "Carbonated", with its breathy sidechained intro, understated organ tones and R&B vocal has already found its way into the hearts of many, but here it finds itself on an EP of unreleased material and remixes. The unreleased tracks certainly don't feel like album offcuts; "Flux" begins as a more downbeat number but unexpectedly erupts into life with an 808 cowbell, leading into a sea of cut-up vocals, whilst "Bave's Chords" is like classic Four Tet, utilising an eastern string sample to great effect. Klaus provides a lurching remix of "Adriatic" which transforms the folky original into an ominous, expansive wasteland, while Airhead creates a similarly eerie take on "Carbonated", taking the intro and extending it to the point of breaking before it explodes into a brief blast of guitar fuzz. Peter Van Hoesen meanwhile morphs "Carbonated" out of all recognition, creating a techno version of the original that leaves only snatches of delayed vocals.
