Originally released as part of
Head, a limited-edition set of remixes taken from the master tapes of
Pigface's 2003 album
Easy Listening. . .,
Clubhead Nonstopmegamix #1 is just as the title implies: a remix of
Easy Listening. . . designed for maximum dancefloor utility. The remixer,
Omegaman, has skills aplenty, and he re-imagines the album, along with a cache of never-before-released outtakes, into a seamless megamix. While this is great for all-night dancing, it unfortunately is nowhere near as interesting as
Easy Listening. . . for the stay-at-homes, as the fascination of
Pigface is always in the odd samples and bizarre musical juxtapositions that Martin Atkins layers into the beats. Focusing on the beats themselves moves that element of the music too far into the background, and sometimes removes it entirely. Unless you're a clubhound or a completist, you can safely give this one a miss. ~ Stewart Mason
