EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Harmonia & Eno '76 - Sometimes in Autumn (Shackleton Remix)
.jpg)
I don't quite know how they pulled this one off. Amazing Sounds - run by the two gents from Allez-Allez - is a fledgling label. This is their first release. And it features Harmonia, Brian Eno and Shackleton. What?! The disbelief slackens somewhat when you hear what the dubstep-techno pioneer has done to "Sometimes in Autumn" - originally part of a 1976 collaboration between Eno and the kosmische masters, Shackleton's remix keeps ahold of the motorik beat and the psychedelic washes so beloved of Harmonia, but strips everything back. His presence on the track is felt in its emptied spaces - in the echo chamber of a chastened snare, for example - but he's respectful, keeping what needs to be kept so this feels less like a remix and more like the English-born, Berlin-based producer has been transported back in time to help birth something lurking, sullen and terrifyingly brilliant. At this point you wouldn't blame Amazing Sounds if they wanted to quit while they were (miles and miles) ahead, but after this comes out in November - on limited edition white vinyl and digital download - there's more gold: cuts promised from Dan Deacon, Luke Abbott and Hudson Mohawke. Keep an eye on things by signing up to their mailing list at the Amazing Sounds website.
