Dive into the cosmic soundscape of Harmonia's "Tracks and Traces Remixed," a captivating journey through the realms of krautrock and space rock. Originally released in 2010, this album is a reimagined exploration of Harmonia's 1976 collaboration with Brian Eno, now infused with fresh energy by a stellar lineup of remix artists. Spanning just under an hour, the album is a seamless blend of hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies, showcasing the innovative spirit of its creators.
Each track is a unique interpretation, from the atmospheric "By the Riverside" remixed by Appleblim & Komonazmuk to the pulsating "Luneburg Heath" reworked by The Field. Shackleton's take on "Sometimes in Autumn" adds a dark, driving edge, while Burger / Void's "Almost" offers a more introspective vibe. Modularsystem's "Vamos Copaneros" brings a dynamic, rhythmic intensity, and MIT Mix's version of "Sometimes in Autumn" delves into a more experimental soundscape. Edward's remix of "Atmosphere" closes the album with a haunting, immersive quality.
Harmonia's original fusion of electronic and organic elements is brilliantly preserved and expanded upon in these remixes, making "Tracks and Traces Remixed" a compelling listen for both longtime fans and newcomers to the genre.
