Denver's Plastic Sound Supply proudly announces PSS007:
George & Caplin - He Really Got Through... Remixes

George & Caplin's brilliant album "He Really Got Through To Advertising..." has been reinterpreted by a close-knit collective of electronic music originators: CacheFlowe, Equulei, Scaffolding and Colortone Library. Staying true to group's original "experimental pop" sound, and tinged with guitar and harmonica, the EP is an unlikely but deep and beautiful meeting of influences. Warped electronic folk meets ambient drone, meets a slew of remixed genres, including elements of dubstep, techno, idm, glitch-hop and shoegaze.

CacheFlowe's remix of "He Really Got Through To Advertising..." is slightly too fast and complex, with too much guitar and flute to be considered dubstep, but you can hear the influence seeping into his production. Equulei's haunting remix of "Highway Driveway" takes a more subdued, if not just as complex take on the George & Caplin sound. The only remix with full-on vocals, its crunchy, glitchy beats drive you through an abstract and spooky rendering of the original. Scaffolding's remix of "Horse Fair 138" starts with an appropriate down-home harmonica sample that doesn't quite prepare you for the downtempo experimental techno funk, scattered glitchy vocal chops, and driving, bit-crushed beat. Finishing off the EP, Colortone Library takes a different approach, creating a lush, shoegazing, trance-inducing beauty of a remix of "Bluff Lake Forgotten".
