The BVs Get Remixed by Mark Reeder
I usually don’t delve into the world of remixes, but this one unites both of my favorite things…the work of the BVs and the remix powers of Mark Reeder. Reeder was hanging out in the Factory Records days, working on remixes for the likes of New Order and Depeche Mode (among others), so you know his talent is there. In all honesty, he doesn’t mess with the original too much, which you can hear on the group’s last LP, Taking Pictures of Taking Pictures; it feels a little cleaner perhaps more beat driven as opposed to guitar driven. Why would he dally here you ask? Well, the BVs have a new remix album, Warped by Mark Reeder and Martyn Schmidt, which is being released by KUS on April 18th.
