I wrote this in cold blood with a tooth pick

"wierd blends that work. known for his variety in styles of music these remixes prove to work in his favor



my opinion better than dj kicks album not to say it didnt have its moments too but there where some weird tracks on there.

lars hontveth remix feels a lot like amon tobin



bonobo remix was previously released but awesome . the only parts that is the same is the hook



the aphex remix is tight if its aphex then it needs crazy drums so kieren chooses funk something i wouldnt think he would use.



mf doom or madvillian remix is great another wierd blend on :great day: its a old western rock like the ventures or good bad ugly soundtrack then the beat drops and it fits like a puzzle.



great album"
Best remixes ever compiled by an artist

"Upon first listen I was really impressed by the musical textures alone. Hebdan finds stunningly creative ways to genuinely rework these songs. This compilation tends to sound like an unadulterated, original four tet album and that's a damn good thing. I couldn't get enough of the Lars Horntveth remix which sounds like what avant jazz music might when electronic music producers take over the world. Past that brilliant track, the aphex twin remix comes off almost like an updated Weather Report piece with its fast funk drum-break and its kalimba motif. The Sia remix that it follows has become better than the original in my mind. The Rothko remix alone influenced the way I make music with its interplay of dance rhythms and half-timed, mellow rock jamming. The album concludes with an almost percussionless bloc party remix that ups the emotion just before letting the listener fall gently back down with an intimate Pole remix. The depth of emotion of the final track is amazing considering its minimalist qualities: just a filtered piano melody with intermittent 808-ish drums. The second disk which consists of remixes OF four tet is not so much disappointing as it is novelty, but the "As serious as your life" jay dee remix is hip-hop brilliance. The packaging of this compilation is amusing on its own with its various aesthetic photographs of little crystal animal figures on various mod-looking black and white backdrops. Looks way cooler than it sounds, not to mention sets a great tone for the album. So of course I recommend this album and insist that any Four Tet fan own it."
