551 The Remix According to Skylab



Took forever to do this one, due mostly to having so many remixes that I just didn't like.  Weeding through those showcased the style that I did like from them.  That style being the 94-96 period with Howie B as a member.   Those early tracks like "Seashell," "Next," and "Twister" brought a smile to my face.  Their work on "Offbeat - A Red Hot Sound Trip" was something really special, like the collaboration with My Bloody Valentine at their peak.  I picked up their single for "The Trip" and was very disappointed, never bought any future releases from them.  In my opinion, this shows the impact one member of a group can have.  I suppose it always was Mat Ducasse's group, and most of these remixes are from the post-Howie B era.
