I love their Stereolab remix (available only on the Japanese release of the Miss Modular EP) but I can imagine it'd be an acquired taste. And they did a remix on the Certificate 18 comp "The Widescreen Versions". The artist is Lexis; it's called the "Autechre slow mix" and hilariously is some of the most ridiculously fast drum'n'bass programming I've heard. On the other hand, I hate the Various Artists mix they did (but the Pole and Monolake mixes are great - odd since I don't really like Monolake or the Basic Channel sound at all), and I don't like the recent Squarepusher one either. Both have unyielding 4/4 beats and tiny melodies that don't do anything for me. The East Flatbush Project Tried By 12 remix is odd for me - I really don't like the beats or anything at all, but sometimes quite enjoy what they do to the vocals. So anyway, I can see where you're coming from. Try those ones I mentioned out, if you haven't heard them. The Saint Etienne comes from quite a while ago, and is really lovely, Aphex-like meaningless vocal samples and great atmosphere.
