Why I like this

This remix was my initiation in to Surfer Blood, and to RAC. My roommate already loved Surfer Blood, and was talking about them, and their surf rock jams, long before I heard this RAC remix on KCRW.    This break beat-ish interpretation has a lot of the original stuff going on with some pretty straightforward break drum programming that just works for this track.  And that really sums up why I like this so much.  The original is great, and this temix is really tastefully done.

I love good indie rock, and I like tasty remixes.

It works and doesn't sound like it shits all over the original--which is really what the goal of any good remix should be, right? Anyway, that's it for this week folks.

Have an awesome weekend.

Song of the Livid Drawn Outside The Lines of Reason by enoruoS (Sourone)


update 11/28/12:  Song of the Livid was the working title of this track, and has been renamed by the creator.

About this guy

enoruoS is where Sourone a.k.a. Michal Kalinowski dumps his "melodic, ambient, and breaky" sounds on soundcloud.  Even with the brilliantly obvious name in reverse not unlike Spacetime Continuum's album Emit Ecaps, and later Remit Recaps, it still took me a while to track down Michal's (or is it Michael's?) original profile, and eventually his facebook page.

He hails from Poland and is a producer of IDM, psychedelia, glitch electronica, experimental, ambient, micro break beats. . . . .and well you get the idea.  This is the type of music where anyone who ends up listening to a lot of his work will probably start throwing the word pioneer around when describing him and his music to others.  He does a little bit of everything, and he does it really, really well from what I've heard so far.
