But following the success of MF DOOM \u0026amp; Madlib's album Madvillainy in 2004, their partners in Europe proposed having producers not normally associated with MF or Madlib to remix some of the tracks for Europe-only vinyl releases, and thus the Four Tet Remixes were born. \n\u003cp\u003eBoth Doom and Madlib wanted to tweak a couple of the remixes and-- thanks to their famously-hectic schedules-- the wait inevitably snowballed. After a botched test pressing, the songs finally broke free recently, albeit only on iTunes (due to contractual fine-print, these mixes will only get a physical release in Europe on wax). Still, the downtime has its benefits: With more distance between the originals and the new mixes, it's easier to consider these tracks on their own, and they'll inevitably have you going back to the source with a refreshed, slightly skewed perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour Tet mastermind Kieran Hebden may not be the most obvious choice to take on such classic material but, based on his six-song collection, he's an inspired pick. Although psych-scratching Stone Thrower Koushik would seem like a more suitable candidate on paper, it's Hebden's far-reaching reimaginings (\"remix\" doesn't quite do these painstaking tracks justice) that truly impress. Employing his trademark free-jazz-inspired, electro-acoustic patterns, the laptop guru amasses small armies of saxophone squawks and looping synths all marching to some of the hardest drums he's ever programmed. Ever the sonic neat-freak, Hebden somehow tames his cacophonies and makes everything bump like a batch of Interstellar Coltrane-approved boom-bap. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/madvillain.bandcamp.com\/album\/four-tet-remixes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1lBlWsgSwzxUObEwzRTCP3?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Stones Throw Records – STH2102\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, 12\", EP, Reissue\u003cbr\u003eCountry: US\u003cbr\u003eReleased: Nov 24, 2017\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Hip-hop\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Abstract, Breaks\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Stones Throw \/ Hip-hop\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stones Throw Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43188035944606,"sku":"11558","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/a1381871596_10.jpg?v=1707837496","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/madvillain-mf-doom-madlib-four-tet-remixes","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
