Review:

 

those are the remixes of "A Major Problem in Australia" as known as "Crunchy

Moles" from their

albume; "The Great Unkown". Feat a remix of 6 Cells which is from "The

Great Unkown" Album

as well... starts with a short version mix for the track, great track. what

else can i say ? :).

Follows it a great remix of A Major Problem in Australia from Massimo Vivona,

nothing else..

Following it, Track 3, one of my favorite tracks in here is a remix from Miro.

really amazing,

though not much left from the original sounds and mix of A Major Problem in

Australia. really

great drumbeat and a lot of fx's flying around!. a real beautiy!. after that

all funky sounds you

get here an amazing remix of Saafi Brother (one of my favorite ambient

artists) for A Major

Problem in Australia, no body could done this more beautiful than them.

amazing track with a lot

of twisted fx's and dubish beats.out standing!. Follows those amazing sounds

from Saafi Brothers

comes my favorite track here which is a remix for A Major Problem in Australia

by Logic Bomb!.

now this one alone makes it worth buying this cd single/vinyl ep. crazy,

twisted and very funky!,

fat basslines, funky beats, great drums here too. AMAZING!!. Following this, a

pretty nice remix

for 6 Cells. nice melodies, drums and a lot of quality in this one. nothing

else... ending this

EP, an extended version mix of A Major Problem in Australia.. if you liked the

last KoxBox Album

you will l0ve this EP. really really worth buying!. 10/10.

wanna know where the original sample came fromm..... its on the start of every

video cassette you hire in most aussie vid stores (but slightly edited by

kxbx)... im dead sick of the sample... but koxbox makes it good and funny

again... as for this release, i thought the logicbomb mix was the best problem

in Australia, but it was all positively problematic...8/10

Great. I've had it for ages and i still listen to it. Out of all the logic bomb

i've heard, this is their only good track. all the other remixes are good too.

If u can still find it, it should be pretty cheap.

Far be it from me to be of a contrarian viewpoint, but I think the Logic Bomb

mix isn't that good at all. The Saafi Bros. is fantastic, and the Massimo

Vivona mix was heard in a condition not conducive to recollection. I am

disappointed nobody put the "Cunt of a bloke" sample in their remixes, yet I

haven't heard Miro's yet, but shall soon as Koxbox has alluded to it's

quality. Looking forward to a new album from them :)

The final encore …?

 

Seven versions of AMPIA redone by the most esteemed people in the business one might wonder whether Koxbox was seeking inspiration. From ambient sound scapes to psychedelic warfare we certainly get around this track!

 

And so there is no doubt – my pick is Massimo Vivona’s remix. God freakin’ damnit!! Koxbox are legendary for creating tracks with multiple sections and MV is no stranger to this talent. And when on top they end on the mother of high notes after a 7:19 minutes long build up I can only bow & scrape. How DO these guys come up with it?

 

Yet, if all the tracks are remixes one may wonder how many layers AMPIA contains. Alright, so three tracks sounds close to the original, but give me the Pepsi challenge and I wouldn’t be able to call the remaining tracks remixes. Miro serves us a laid back trippy voyage, Saafi Brothers a chilled out sleeper, Logic Bomb held back Koxbox aggressiveness, and Pixeldodgers a dark tech journey on psychedelic influences. And I’m all ears.

 

If you like Koxbox don’t hesitate chasing down a copy. And if you’re not convinced already let me just add that the cd is worth having for the hideous cover alone! This must have been engineered when nothing fails to please the eye. I mean, who could this possibly appeal to?!
