Alex Gopher has been making remixes for almost 15 years now, and it’s clear he knows his way around a recording studio. This double disc special brings out a lot of unreleased stuff, and shows his versatility in accomplished reworkings of Kraftwerk, Ladyhawke and Tocadisco. What works really well is the roughness he brings to some of this, and the especially bendy bassline for Dada Life’s ‘Your Favourite Flu’ is pretty hard to beat. The starry collaboration with Air and Etienne De Crecy, ‘Ash Sync’, wears its ’80s influences freely, but still works its thing effectively. By contrast Fischerspooner’s ‘The Best Revenge’ gets a real going over, the synth stabs far more aggressive. With 20 full length remixes on offer this is a release well worth seeking out.
