EARTH Legacy of Dissolution CD (No Quarter) 13.98Killer remix album for cult sludge/drone gods Earth features a variety of rethink from some heavy hitting names like Autechre, Mogwai, Jim O'Rourke, Sunn O))), and Russell Haswell. These contributors take the original forms of Earth's slo-mo trance metal, ranging from Mogwai's guitar obliteration and fried electronica infection of "Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine", turning the original into a muggy, melodic post-rock mutation, to Russell Haswell's appropriation of "Tibetan Quaaludies (Waveset Sloth Mix)" which turns into a razorblade powerdrone infinitely more evil than the album version. Autechre's take on "Coda Maestoso In F(Flat) Minor" barely changes the original, instead opting to embellish the track with extremely subtle variations and augmentations, slightly affecting the drums and tweaking the flow with a great deal of reverence. Justin Broadrick (of Godflesh, Jesu, and Final) delivers our favorite remix, an angelic devolvement of "Harvey", turning the song into one of Broadrick's heavenly blasts of chorale-esque dirge sweetness. Other standouts include Sunn O)))'s crushing blackened redux of "Rule The Divine" and Jim O'Rourke's stop n' go post-rock blur of "THrones And Dominions". Pretty essential for Earth fans, we think.
