I don't know, but I can't imagine why they solicited remixes of this EP -- it strikes me as trying to fix something that is _very much_ not broken. The Monolake and Vainqueur remixes might be interesting (refracting the already refracted?) but "thinly-spread remixer fatigue" is beginning to set in with the others... > I-F:f*cking consumer:disko b:CD:$15.99 > heard the name a lot, know anywhere with ra samples? regular electro > is the impression i get from reading about it.. There's nothing "regular" about i-F. This record is about 50% new material, I think, but it's exceptional. -d.w.
