demixed
 
review on rumori.net:
This is sort of a lost classic of sample-based music. Hardly as minimal or verse-chorus based as the source material of Hiller's songs, 'Demixed' samples it along with just about anything else one can think of. The aesthetic is: complete timbral change every 10-20 seconds, the more jarring and violent the juxtaposition the better. And these aren't fragmentary samples; they'll include 4 whole bars of something, a familiar techno record, tribal recording, vintage musique concrete, relatively untransformed -- but over the course of the 3 minute song, move through a dozen other sounds as well. A neat example of artistically justified use of extended and recognizable samples, because the overall result is clearly a new work.
There's still very little out there today that keeps this level of radical pacing up for 50 minutes, in this densely assembled style.
