Stripping away even more percussion than on its predecessor, “II” saw Marcus Worgull and Danilo Plessow zooming in on ambience, texture and sonic cohesiveness, allowing “each electronic voice to come into focus” (Pitchfork). Now, “II Remixes” puts the beat back into the mix, thanks to iconic artists Dixon, I:Cube and Wassermann who each develop their own irresistible groove out of the immersive source material. As one of the album’s most highlighted cuts, Dschuna gets the royal treatment by Innervisions head and internationally revered selector Dixon who proves his strong command of the dance floor with a hypnotic ride that surrounds the soaring sounds of the original with tribal- esque vocals. The instrumental version drops the chants, but retains the enchantment, all elegant rhythm and gorgeous strings. Versatile’s I:Cube, legendary producer and DJ in its own right, brings a distinctly Parisian touch to the spectral Skorbut, whose sci-fi-imbued widescreen aura gets reimagined as laser-gun-wielding space funk machine. Meanwhile, Wolfgang Voigt aka Wassermann condenses Paradigma’s roaming synths into pulsating trance swells on his stomping Krautramatrik Mix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kompakt","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50437293867339,"sku":"1020131","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/97e23c13-a9e9-4a31-ada9-02daad2057da_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726929063"},{"product_id":"11-8","title":"11","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing their much-acclaimed surprise debut album Vermont from 2014, Motor City Drum Ensemble’s Danilo Plessow and Innervisions' Marcus Worgull reunite for more synth daydreaming on the suitably titled \u003ci\u003eII\u003c\/i\u003e. The new outing continues where the first full-length left off, strolling further down the luminous and undulating path that the duo turned into, influenced in equal measures by kosmische, krautrock, minimal wave and synth soundtracks. This latest batch of instrumental cuts opens with the strictly balearic vibe of \u003ci\u003eNorderney\u003c\/i\u003e, a softly swinging, light-footed recording with a keen sense for structure. Featuring a guest performance from Robbert Van Der Bildt (aka Kaap) on guitar, it’s a telling starting point for the album that - similar to Vermont’s self-titled debut - successfully navigates between economic, careful studio arrangements and playful, incidental exploration further pushing into jam session territory. Van Der Bildt's guitar returns on the plucky, curious \u003ci\u003eUfer,\u003c\/i\u003e where Vermont showcase a renewed sense for jazz-like improvisation - same as on the cuts \u003ci\u003eDschuna, Chanang and Wenik \u003c\/i\u003ewhich also include contributions from Dermot O'Mahony and Tadhg Murphy on strings. Still, Vermont's synth contraptions remain the album's main attraction, with the extensive array of gear encompassing an entire panopticon of analog bling - from Arp Oddysey and Moog Prodigy to Fender Rhodes, Juno and Prophet, list-studying gear heads will find lots to drool upon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - 180 Gram Vinyl with Download.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kompakt","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50471255212363,"sku":"1003945","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/36fc9e01-4c48-4db3-94e2-8ae5b7878d70_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727397344"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_1bcbb9ac_thumbnail_4096_12f0b2b8-f2f0-4946-9127-b158e692800e.jpg?v=1726929044","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/vermont.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
