Scott Solter remixes John Vanderslice’s Pixel Revolt, tour dates, bonus live mp3, gossip
Scott Solter’s remixes of John Vanderslice’s great 2005 album Pixel Revolt. They’re here (zip files of all the 224 kps vbr mp3s and uncompressed files).
If you know John Vanderslice at all, you know he’s a complete analog junky and so is Solter. What’s complete astounding about these songs is that the result could come from the source without any digital help, no computer manipulation. Just cutting, splicing and messing around in analog.
Check it out:
John Vanderslice - Trance Manual (Scott Solter Remix) (mp3) (original mp3)
John Vanderslice - Exodus Damage (Scott Solter Remix) (mp3) (original mp3)
I put the “Trance” remix among my favorites. It’s light and airy and interesting.
