Ø [Phase] - Binary Opposition Reprocessed Part 1 mp3 download

This was just bound to happen. Binary Opposition caused so much buzz, it was only a matter of time before the who's who of modern techno tackle Ashley Burchett's classic. Despite the names involved, remixing the pivotal release of 2012 is a tough task to live up to. However, I find the entire remix pack more rewarding if you come to terms with the fact that none of the remixers will emulate the originals. That said, they compete with it, some with more confidence that others, successfully. Over the surfaces of three 12" vinyls, what you have is six takes on either Process 1 or Process 2.My favorite being this one. Mainly because of the droning stubbornness of Luke Slater's remix. He takes on the Process 2 version of Binary Opposition, the more harmonic one, and absolutely kills it with a big, abrasive motif that barely changes for the entire duration. Injecting it with more straight forward rhythm, he alters the track's flow: whereas the original dashed towards a colossal melody driven climax, his remix is a linear techno onslaught. Glimpses of the original are audible as he uses the vocal-like hook line, though this time around it is mercilessly kept in check by the hammering percussion. One for the purists.Ctrls take a surprise turn, and offer devastating breakbeat drum arrangements, placing searing stabs and ghoulish cries on top of them. It's a notable departure from the original's marching 4x4 bonanza, yet due to its hook line, echoing in and out of the track, one can deduce that the danish producer is, like Luke Slater, reworking Process 2. Just like it was with Planetary Assault Systems, Troels B. Knudsen relies more on rhythm driven patterns and frenetic sound effects rather than the patient build-up taking things to new euphoric heights type of structure Phase opted for on the original. Works wonders!Although the hype was mainly around the Ben Klock remix, in my opinion he relied too much on the original's awesome bass line and hook, and then just plain killed it with an incredibly cheesy melody drop during the break. Remixes by Sigha and Peter Van Hoessen I can hardly remember, so that probably tells a thing or two about them, yet these two I keep coming back to. Being a hopeless fan of firm rhythm, the Planetary Assault Systems rework was just the type of a thing I wanted to hear; he takes the memorable lead of the original and coats it with more percussive menace and drive, leading it over the top. If you somehow missed out on the original, or just cannot get enough of it, I would recommend starting here.Needless to say, none of the remixers have as much as a patch on either one of the original versions, but if you decide to give this pack a try with the preconception of someone actually outgunning Phase, you risk getting disappointed - big time. Expect solid techno from some of the game's key players. Notice how I said solid techno, for some spectacular material, do head for the original.
