After a literal blitzkrieg of remix work that has seen Throne of Blood's favorite sons lend their analog touch to tracks from Hannelulauri (I'ma Cliché), Murphy Jax (Turbo), The Rapture (DFA/Modular/Coop), The Citizens (Kitsune), Frances Bebey (DIRTY), Richard Richard (Plant Music), Black Strobe (BSR), Siskid (Meant), and Scratch Massive, Populette are back for their third release on Throne of Blood! This time around, the NYC production duo of Max Pask and Andrew "Wiz" Potter continue to elaborate their dark and druggy vision of the dancefloor through a pair of densely-textured, expansive affairs. Ê Title track "Lasers Are Forever" combines arpeggiating analog squelch, lush synth atmospherics and subtle percussion sequencing to lend itself an uncommon sense of drama, the effect of which is both compelling and visceral. On the flip, "Hello Darkness" takes a somewhat different approach: an imposing ARP 2600 bassline pulses along front-and-center with a relentless acid-tinged snarl, while pounding drums and swelling pads complete this most banging of danses macabres. Ê On remix duties are Throne of Blood alumni Remain & Mlle Caro, who retain the key elements of their source material only to reveal an entirely different beast lurking beneath: the Parisian duo take down the tempo a few notches and let swelling analog filters and unfurling LFOs do the rest. Meanwhile, Get The Curse Music boss Clement Meyer's Deformhaus remix of "Hello Darkness" tightens the original's percussion to an industrial stomp and introduces a spooked-out synth line every bit as funky as it is uncanny; the end result lands somewhere between the boneyard and the discothèque
