On the topic of remix packages & the High Llamas, i still 
love the High Llamas remix album called Lollo Rosso
that came out last year on V2. The remixes by mouse on 
mars, cornelius, schneider tm and jim o'rourke are still in 
frequent rotation on my player. The perfect blend of
cheese and electronica...

I agree. I too was a little disappointed with the Pastels 
remix package despite the impressive lineup of remixers 
- mouse on mars, my bloody valentine, to rococo rot, 
third eye foundation, stereolab, kid loco, cornelius, 
john mcentire, and jim o'rourke to name a few. There 
was an exception on this ep though: the Kid Loco remix 
which was cool in a screamadelica primal scream-kinda 
way.
