Xam Duo - RMX

10" Black vinyl

- - - - -Ā 

XAM Duo – the Yorkshire-based pairing of Matthew Benn and Christopher Duffin – follow-up their The A-side features a reworking of the album’s closing track, ā€˜Cold Stones’, by legendary electronic artist and DJ, James Holden. In one of his first remixes for a number of years, he has taken the original’s calming, comedown energy and transformed it into an epic, 11-and-a-half-minute journey, which somewhere around the five-minute mark comes right back up. ā€œIt didn't turn out quite how I expected, but as they say the sculpture is already in the stone, we just have to find it,ā€ says Holden. ā€œIt's like the most rave thing I’ve done for ages and also not rave at all, like a blurry dream about a rave?ā€ Whatever it is, it’s incredible, as are the two further reworkings on the B-side. The Early Years resurface after another lengthy hiatus and reframe ā€˜LGOC’ as a divine astral jazz / krautrock crossover, while Richard Pike (of PVT and Deep Learning, among others) turns ā€˜Blue Comet’ into a glitchy and discordant soundtrack to the best 1980s computer game you never played. ā€œIt’s lovely to hear three different interpretations of songs that we already tend to keep quite loose and elastic,ā€œ says Matthew Benn. ā€œThese remixes feel like a natural extension of the music on the album, like they're from the same world, but perhaps in a different language.ā€
