WHO IS REX THE DOG? (ideas, NOW)

His "press releases" are hilarious.

Funny

1988 "minimix" on his website is pretty cool

i don't really understand who's zoomin' who here...

Alright just realized all this has been discussed here 3 years ago. Please ignore me

i want that Goldfrapp remix

All of a sudden in the record racks I see a Rex the Dog album.

Surprised that no one here has been all over it but simultaneously not surprised.

Is it any good then?

there is little new on it, and what's old is cut down radio edits, so not much chat about it.

ace all the same

I might get it then on a "nice to have it all in one place" basis.

^^

That's its purpose for sure, although I do like the new tracks.

nah it's just pointless and feels 4 years overdue. the radio edits all feel as though they end too soon, and the best of the new tracks (all, like, three of them?) is 'adequate'. get the full-length originals off beatport or somewhere, though i guess anyone familiar with rex the dog in the first place would already have them.

I like how he's kept up the anonymous thing. I expect a k-punk coverstory in The Wire on how radical and subversive RtD and Burial are.

b-but, didn't Burial out himself?

LEAVE BURIAL ALONE

His remix of Triangle Walls by Fever Ray is probably the best thing he's done since his 2004 heyday. He still only has one trick but that trick feels... relevant again?

bubblicious is up there with his best

copped this record. 'i look into mid air' still sounds sooo good

I was listening to his recentish Ministry Of Sound mix on my phone after the pub on Friday night, had to step back from the bus stop because my dancing was unnerving other waiting passengers

I Look Into Mid-Air has a magic that none of his other material quite matches.

JX

I Look Into Mid Air is still amazing.

new single in April

The A-side goes DUG DUDA DUG DADA DUGaaa and WHOOOooH
The B-side goes NANANANANANANANANANANANANANA...

According to the sidebar toward the end of the article, Rex the Dog was reading this thread

Recently tracked down the 12" mixes of the older tracks... they are SO much better. Not that the album isn't a good listen and introduction to the music, but I'm probably never going to listen to it again.

There's a new EP out next month on Kompakt: http://www.kompakt.fm/blog/wZPyEmQgyk8T

Played on beatsinspace last night.
