    Coldfish - The Yellow Cat Coldfish - The Yellow Cat
    Coldfish - The Yellow Cat Get on board, kids. The Iron Curtis train is leaving and we don't want to have to leave you behind. It may be by simple virtue of the source material, but Iron Curtis' remix of Coldfish's "Yellow Cat" has me believing that we may have yet another auteur on our hands. How else to explain the weirdness with which his remix goes about its business? Things are fine for nearly two minutes—mood-building, they call it—but then horns. Cheesy MIDI-sounding horns trumpeting away as if they were worthy of the pomp that they're pumping out. It's a DJ Koze moment of disruption and it doesn't stop there, as Curtis settles into a groove and lets you bask in the glory of smooth synth beds, further syn-trumpet warble and maybe even a timpani or two. Stupid, in the best sense.

    There are other tracks here, including Coldfish's original "Yellow Cat," which contains enough of Iron Curtis' detritus that you wonder how much of his remix is genius, and how much of it is warped source material. But Coldfish takes a relatively straight tack with it, making the whole thing a bit of a bore to get through. Migren, who offers up further another remix, however, splits the difference and goes for productive hypnosis. He succeeds, rolling dub clouds and chain-link melodies into a solid rework. Why you'd listen to it over Iron Curtis' take, I have no idea, but stranger things have happened.
