Phallus Dei
Osmose

This is pretty much a remix of Phallus Dei's notorious 1991 album Pontifex Maximus, with a couple of new tracks thrown in. The older material has been prettified a bit, with some more digital-sounding elements (such as bolstered percussion and some synth) thrown in. The result, to my ears, is a defanged version of the original, a mostly unnecessary exercise in revisiting material that was better in its rawer, more feral form.

Why do musicians love the remix so much? I mean, it's not like Picasso decided to paint another Guernica a year later, this time with brighter colors and a puppy in the corner of the canvas.
