Peacefrog, 2003
Plaid are probably the best remixers in the electronic music scene, and this 2-CD collection provides a good overview of their output. Plaid’s mixes are simply beautiful, with lush melodies that mesh seamlessly with elements of the original tracks. From the very-electronic interpretation of Björk’s “All Is Full of Love” to a wicked electro version of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five’s “Scorpio,” this is my favorite release so far this year.
