Biggest surprise of the year (at least so far...)5
Having seen these guys live, I really wasn't expecting too much from this album, though I know their studio work is far more polished and coherent than their shows might lead you to believe. They seem to have been permanently tagged by one track that's now five years old, Fahrenheit Fair Enough. Which was what caught my ear the first time I heard them. Just a one-track pony?

Nope.

Remixes Compiled is a streamlined sonic surprise. Many of the tracks are vocal, the musical styles of the tracks are wide-ranging, yet the whole album feels totally cohesive, glued together with clicks, blips, and glitches. There's such immense detail in every track-- layers of sounds, sweeping and fading in and out, beautifully timed, always fascinating. It's like listening to imagination.

I'm sold.

Review from Melt Magazine - Columbus, OH5
New Orleans-born, Chicago-residing duo Telefon Tel Aviv have recently released the aptly titled Remixes Compiled, a compilation of umm... remixes. The reigning champs of glitchy soundscapes, bring a common aesthetic of quick-pan beats, twinkling acoustic guitars, and warm synths to twelve tracks from a diverse cross-section of electronic acts they have worked with over the past seven years. Some of the more notable rearrangements like Nine Inch Nails' "Even Deeper" or Apparat's "Komponent" showcase the duo's unmatched sophistication in textural soundbite sampling. The glacial remixes of Bebel Gilberto's "All Around" and American Analog Set's "The Green Green Grass" will have you floating off to TTA's, great chillout pad in the sky. At least thats where they take me, which is consequentially exactly where I want to go when I pop in Telefon Tel Aviv. Thankfully, every track sounds moodier, more layered, and all around more enjoyable after being run through the TTA filter. Remixes Compiled is a sublime collection of tastefully reinterpreted tracks from a group yet to follow up their sobering sophomore album. If you jam on their original stuff, you will not be disappointed with these remixes. - Tyler Starkey

Freakin amazing!5
Shoooooooooot...Telefon Tel Aviv and their signature sound shining through all of these re-mixed songs! It's freakin amazing. Their beats are always exquisite, and the melodies always lush. Charles and Joshua have taken these songs and totally made them their own in that extra special TTA way. Nobody does music the way these guys do. Please, I implore you -- purchase this disc. And if you don't have'em yet, get their first three releases as well: Fahrenheit Fair Enough, Immediate Action CD single, and Map of What Is Effortless.

Truly the most unique sounds, drum cutting-bleeping-snipping-stuttering-glitching-tweaking, guitar sliding, string orchestrating, swooshing and swooping this way and that. GET IT! ALL OF IT.
