Released in concert with the original
BlackerThreeTracker
, this EP brings in three remixes of
Curve
material from three radically different sources. Likely due to regular
studio collaborators
Flood
and
Alan Moulder
's then-current gig producing
Nine Inch Nails
,
Trent Reznor
starts things off with his 'screaming bird' mix of
"Missing Link."
Not quite as strong or surprising as some of his other remixes at the time, it's still a good effort, exploring the brusqueness of the original in various ways.
The Future Sound of London
tackle the 'headspace' mix of
"Rising,"
which is in fact a collage from various songs from
Cuckoo
rearranged by the duo in its usual weirdly ambient style. Progressive house duo
the Drum Club
complete things with a similar multisong collage, the 'honey tongue' mix of
"Half the Time,"
which is fair but not utterly memorable. ~ Ned Raggett
