{"product_id":"missing-deadlines-selected-remixes","title":"Missing Deadlines: Selected Remixes","description":"Remix collections in general function both as explorations of styles and as de facto collaborative efforts -- depending, at least, on how the remixer chooses to work with the source material. Given Ulrich Schnauss' reputation as a creator of electro-gaze music, it's little surprise that so many of the featured artists are shoegazers old and new: Mark Gardener of Ride turns up solo, while Slowdive is invoked not once but twice, thanks to the appearance both of Mojave 3 and Rachel Goswell solo. Add in plenty of newer artists beholden to the form like A Sunny Day in Glasgow, Mahogany, Asobi Seksu, and Missing Deadlines is, in essence, one long series of reverb-overdriven washes of sound after another. But it's not that Schnauss flattens everything out song for song; if he's emphasizing the echo and enveloping nature of the music whenever possible, the original songs themselves are rarely entirely jettisoned. Thus A Sunny Day in Glasgow's \"Ghost in the Graveyard\" still rips along at a quick pace, while Asobi Seksu's \"Strawberries\" becomes even more of a beauteous chug and flow. Elsewhere, the soft jangle of Katharina Franck's \"Faithful Friend\" becomes a ghostly keen of vocals and guitar lost in a loping swirl, while the pulsing synth flow of Roedelius and Tim Story's \"Lunz\" turns into elegant sonic gauze, and I'm Not a Gun's \"Make Sense and Loose\" stands out for being not merely drum-driven, but for the swathes of murk used to shade rather than shape it. Missing Deadlines doesn't include every remix Schnauss has done -- his majestic reworking of Depeche Mode's \"Little 15,\" also one of his most creative remixes, is absent -- but it's still an enjoyable sampling and, in a way, is his most varied full-length release yet. ~ Ned Raggett","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46229294940447,"sku":"5016266106221","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/225bdd7704a009294c06df1d661e7d64.jpg?v=1777887361","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/missing-deadlines-selected-remixes","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
