I don't use spotify or anything of the likes. But I know what I'm currently obsessed with.

So here we go in no particular order! .... It's been an odd ear-worm sort of couple of months for me.

-

Deadcrush by Alt-J (this tickles my brain and I love the music video)

My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit (There's something about this one that just makes me happy)

Black Dress by 070 Shake (Heard it on the radio and it stuck with me)

I can Feel it (Michael Jackson x Phil Collins Remix) by SickKick (Look this one up on YouTube. It's amazing. You will not be sorry).

Piano Concerto #2 in C Minor, Op 18 by Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninoff went off on this one. Heck yeah!)

No One Dies by Love by Tove Lo (Tickles my brain so hard)

Hurriane by annons (Something about this and the music video that I'm obsessed with)

Silhouettes by Of Monsters and Men (Can't go wrong with Monsters and Men.)

The entire Escaflowne sound track (You have no idea. This sound track and I go way back.)

Saat Saat from Moon Knight (The best. You just can't beat blasting this one late at night and getting overly emotional)

opinions on alt-j's reduxer

the remix album... anyway i feel like i mostly judged the songs based on 4 criteria:

how much did they change/use the og song

are the vibes of the remix similar to the og song

are the new lyrics related to the og song

does it sound good

also i listened to them once and wrote this, so these are my initial thoughts. okay now, in order:

3WW - otg

the instrumentals aren't changed best i can tell, and while the rap does take over most of the track, two verses and the bridge show up so its not like there's nothing of the og song here.

the vibes are totally off, and the rap part feels like it was made first and then put on the song with no thought. like, 3WW is about experiencing the world/love for the first time and the overuse of "i love you" to the point that its lost its meaning, yet the rapper is talking about... tbh i don't even know. its a weird verse, where there's not really greater connectivity, its just making sure one line flows to the next.

i'll give credit where its due and say i like the sound of it, like her voice and rhythm, but it fails in my mind as a good remix because the addition doesn't mesh with the original.

in cold blood - twin shadow

spoiler: i hate this one. in cold blood is my favorite from the album and i don't like the weird techno filter on the og vocals. plus its really just repeating like 3 lines over and over again.

the rap is about like... big rich drug dealer lifestyle whichhhhh you could say partying is a part of that and the og is about a pool party that ends with a murder so it sorta fits. mostly though i just don't like how this one sounds so its an instant no.

house of the rising sun

actually the best one. the energy of the rap matches really well with the og song too. i think its really fun that the way the rap meshes with the og is by having alt-j's song be a second song inside of it, like the funeral song in last year.

vibes match perfectly, and the lyrics do as well. the rapper is singing about how his father was a drunkard who partied all the time and neglected his wife so like, literally house of the rising sun.

probably the only complaint i have is that alt-j's new verse isn't used in this remix, just the first verse, and the instrumentals seem to be changed a bit. but this one sounds so good and works really well as one cohesive song that i can deal with it.

hit me like that snare - jimi charles moody

first of all, what is up with the new lofi-esque instrumentals at the start? that is NOT in line with the vibes. the lick at the end thats played a few times is really good though, i like that addition. not a lot of the og lyrics are used, and like in cold blood, there's a lot of repetition of a few lines. thats less fun to me.

the rap section does pair really well with the og lyrics though. it fits in with the hardcore sex theme. it starts kinda rocky with sounding good but comes for it in the end. overall though i'd say this one is mid at best.

deadcrush

i like that the song starts with a solid minute of the og, but also its only the chorus. the bridge comes in eventually, but its mostly the chorus. i think the only instrumental change is that they were slowed a bit? the chorus repetition gets a little old though near the end... its just in the song too many times.

we're back with the rap section not relating to the og lyrics. but ya know, i still don't think the chorus on deadcrush matches the verses in a lyrical sense lmao, so you could argue it works. but the energy of the rap and the og are the same, so at least the vibes match.

does it sound good...? yyyyeah but not better than the original deadcrush. its an okay remix... i do mean that its only okay.

adeline

conflicted because i really like the new reworked instrumental, with the heavy beat, it sounds awesome, but i don't think the vibes are the same. most of the og lyrics are here though, which i like.

first verse's lyrics do a decent job of being about the song. the second verse is... like 3WW's i don't see why it fits with this song. weakest part of the remix for me.

i think the remix sounds great, but the vibes are pretty different. so i guess the final verdict depends on how much weight you put on the criteria i'm judging on.

last year

cutting up the song and reordering it is a bad choice. like, going month by month and then ending with the funeral song is a big reason why last year hits so hard. also i'm not a fan of the new instrumentals. like whats up with the weird saxophone solo in the middle of it? and as much as i liked the beat in adeline it does not work here. and the beat doesn't fit given the vibes of the og song.

i'm not a big fan of the rapper here either. i don't like his voice very much sooooo. but to his credit, he does sing about dying so we'll give him that.

honestly i don't like this one very much. i feel like the essence of the original is just gone, as well as the emotional impact. like the first time i listened to last year i was FEELING things, but everything that played a part in that got changed by this remix.

pleader

this is just a different song. how did it get on this album. okay that aside this one has the least amount of the og song in it. even the lyrics that match sound like they were re-sung by the rapper. the instrumentals were also redone. the vibes were killed violently and left three exits back.

a lot of it is in spanish, so i'm not sure how the lyrics relate, but what i can see don't feel the same to me. idk.

does it sound good? i'll admit it, yes it has its charm, but it fails all the rest of the criteria so i can't call it a good remix. i struggle to call it a remix at all, actually. so: okay song, terrible remix.

aaaand its at this point that i relalized there's a few songs that have multiple remixes. i'm still gonna go in album order so those reviews will be down here.

3WW - lomepal

this is wholly rap, with one single instance of the original lyrics - the chorus in the middle. the instrumental is the same so there's that.

its in french, so again another song i can't comment much on for the lyric matching.

given my limited understanding on what the rapper is saying (i'm not looking up a translation for this one sorry), i'll have to rate what i do know. and thats that there's very little of the og song in here, and i don't like that sooooo. meh about it

in cold blood - kontra k

does better than the other by not augmenting the og vocals, and also utilizes more of the og lyrics. the parts where the chorus is interspersed by rap lines are actually really cool.

the rap is in german, and we know what that means here. the rapper has a lot of energy, so the vibes go together pretty well.

way better remix than the other version on the album. got a little bored when it was just rap that i don't understand, but when the og song was a part of it this was super fun to listen to. tbh rivaling the house of the rising sun one for best remix

hit me like that snare - rejjie snow

i'm actually serious when i say the only thing that this song has from the og is a few instances where the instrumentals are taken from alt-j's version. i thought pleader was bad but this one somehow has even more "this is just a different song" vibes.

there's so little here to even compare to the original... i don't even think what he's singing about relates back to it. i can't even call this a remix. its a different song that samples a few seconds of instrumentals from hit me like that snare. although it doesn't sound bad, by the sheer fact of this not being a remix it is officially the worst song on this album.
