Hyper Civilizado Remixes

描述

Hyper Civilizado is a companion remix album to the avant garde guitarist's second foray into more lyrical, Brazilian-influenced jazz, Mundo Civilizado. Like that album, Hyper features the beats of DJ Spooky and Mutamassik, here augmented by Sub Dub, Brazilian DJ Soul Slinger and others, using the remixes to take their model's electronica components to the extreme. Featuring three reworkings of Mundo's "Complicity" (plus two remixes each of the title track and "Q Samba") Hyper offers everything from Spit's "Lyrical Mix," which replaces much of the music but keeps the vocal melody, to Mutamassik's "M28 Mix," which retains only one word and one drum while infusing a Middle Eastern rhythm to the track. While Hyper's compositions are all the better because they're rooted in song (rather than being frameless constructions), the record is still best heard in the context of--and as a complement to--Lindsay's original. --Roni Sarig
