Maybe you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear - that is, if you
have some silk in your pocket. The other alternative is to totally
ignore the track in question (an Aphex type of stunt) or trash it (like
U-ziq did with the Auteurs). I still have a copy of Acacia's "Sway",
which I bought for the Plaid mix. Bad move, as Plaid actually tried to
work with the source material. The most palatable remix on the disc was
from Anthony Manning, who took the minimalist approach, using as little
of the source material as humanly possible, yet still retaining a tiny
glimmer of association with the original, rather like gingerly handling
a turd with as little contact as possible....

I have no use for Hot Chip, myself, and the cynically minded might
view this as the latest chapter in CC's selling out. But I actually
rather like this remix on its own terms. The original track? Eecchh
