Björk compiles favourite Biophilia remixes
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 9 October 2012
Björk has chosen thirteen tracks from her ‘Biophilia’ remix series for collective release on a compilation titled ‘Bastards’. The record features edits by Death Grips, Matthew Herbert, These New Puritans and Omar Souleyman, amongst others, is out in all the normal formats (bar an app, that is) on 19 Nov.
Björk explains all: “I felt it important to gather together the essence of the remixes, so I picked a quarter of them for one CD for people who are perhaps not too sassy downloaders or don’t have the time or energy to partake in the hunter-gathering rituals of the internet”.
She adds: “I was incredibly impressed by how the core of the mixes took ‘Biophilia’ somewhere else while still keeping its character, and like they so often do when at their best: the remixes gave the songs more beats; legs to dance on! I spent some time editing together not necessarily the best ones but the ones that made the strongest whole”.
Tracklisting:
Crystalline (Omar Souleyman Remix)
