Emma Pollock - Various Prod. remixes

"Last year 4AD commissioned Various to remix a version of Emma Pollock’s song Limbs. VP eagerly obliged, laying down their own unique take on the track, and re-recording the vocals to get the sound they desired. 4AD didn't quite know what to make of the result. They liked it, but, concerned at the absence of the original vocals, were reluctant to put it out. Rather than consign it to the scrapheap, VP decided to build on it, at the same time starting work on another Pollock remix, Fortune. The results of their labours are the two tracks set together on this 7". First we have the downbeat 'Limbs', a haunting melody driven forth by a churning, yearning beat. Then comes 'Fortune'. With its epic sounding beats reigned in by Pollock’s vocals, the track starts big and slowly strips away the bass, leaving the us finally with only the high-pitched sound beneath. Two very different tracks set together, a juxtaposition to engage and delight Various' growing set of fans."
