Quark - ''Morte Nuit - Remixes''
(Monday June 30, 2003 2:30 PM )

Released on 07/07/2003
Label: Naïve

This is a mixed package of remixes but where it works, it works well.

It starts full of promise, as The Film take the not obviously brilliant original 'Morte Nuit' and give it a cliche punk, glam-rock re-work.

This sees a hip nudging drum track being driven along by bass and guitar and, being simple, quirky and original, it's everything that you want from a production of its sort.

Chloe gives the track a more austere, lo fi, dirty house re-work that's full of post punk funk angst. It manages to be at once minimal while still being as chunky as a Jean Jaques Brunel bass line.

All of which makes the jangly guitar of the original, which finally arrives on the b-side sound a bit insipid, if not superfluous to this package.

Finally Frederic Sanchez has a go at remixing 'Les Ames Passent', a disjointed affair that sounds like it was recorded next door.

One sided excellence and certainly worth tracking down.
