Review - :
Picking up where {^Rhythms, Resolutions and Clusters: Remixed and Rare} left off, the release of {$Tortoise's} {^Remixed} is a reworking of material from {^Millions Now Living Will Never Die}. {^Remixed} is quite an eclectic compilation, featuring the work of {$Jim O'Rourke}, {$Oval's} {$Markus Popp}, {$Bundy K. Brown}, and others. The album also features {$Tortoise} member-to-be {$Jeff Parker}, as well as a {$Tortoise} remix of {$Yo La Tengo's} {&"Autumn Sweater."} Some of the mixes stick to the original song forms, but the most successful ones depart from the preordained structure. {$O'Rourke's} "Reference Resistance Gate" is a brilliant interpretation, the best of the album. "Taut and Tame," remixed by {$Wagon Christ's} {$Luke Vibert}, results in jungle-{$Tortoise}. "Wait," which is not a remix but a new song, is a formidable effort and reflects the a marked growth from {^Millions}. This version of "Autumn Sweater" does justice to the already interesting tune through {$Tortoise's} tinkering. This album is well worth the {$O'Rourke} remix alone, but contains other standouts. It presents a fresh outlook on much of the material composed for {^Millions}. ~ Marc Gilman, All Music Guide
