HEALTH Megggamix (Mixed By Acid Girls)

You may know the Acid Girls from their two Health remixes a la HEALTH//DISCO. Well now they have taken the music of GT favs, Health and crafted an almost 28 minute crazyass megamix. I tend to like my music in 1:30 to 3:00 minute punk-sized chunks, but in this case I am willing to make an exception. (You may have noticed) I have a tendency to describe things as awesome. Well, this IS awesome.

Listen: "HEALTH Megggamix (Mixed By Acid Girls)" (box.net mp3) (props to Urb)

In other Health related news, they are recording a long player presently entitled GET COLOR. Also, HEALTH//DISCO comes to wax in with a new sequence and a new remix from MATH HEAD. Maybe we will get to hear that soon (hint hint).

Lawncare By Women

So, one song my ipod keeps choosing to play of late is by Canadian lofindierockers Women. It is one of the harder tracks on their newish eponymous album. It is all beats and recorder grot. Oh, and that buried guitar line will probably get stuck in your head (in a good way), but only if you listen for it.

Crimewave (Crystal Castles vs. David Wolf) by Health

Q: Perhaps you have picked up the HEALTH//DISCO album from, yes, the band named Health?

A: No? Then read this statement from Health:
“This is not your typical remix album.... Every artist on the record was hand selected and contacted by us with the hope of combining our sounds and musical ideas with those of electronic artists we admire, several of them doing remixes for the first time. It is not about market saturation or crossover appeal. It is purely about the music, and we are proud of it. This is an album, and meant to be listened to as one. The goal of this record is not only to present all these songs at once, but also to ensure that they are not forgotten in the constantly updating, content hungry internet music world.”
