Moby's 2011 studio effort
Destroyed continued his trek into late-night contemplation and self-consciousness with 70-plus minutes of bleak indie-leaning techno.
Destroyed [Remixed] is a collection of various artists remixing tracks from that album, divided into two sections, Big Room and Small Room. The more club-friendly remixes occupy the big room disc while things get a little weirder in the small room. Multiple interpretations of standout
Destroyed tracks "The Day" and "Lie Down in Darkness" are tackled by acts ranging from superstar DJ
Paul van Dyk to indie buzzband
Yeasayer. DFA electro/party band crossovers
Holy Ghost! contribute a
New Order-inspired take on "Blue Moon," and though deeply derivative, it still stands out as the most immediate and excitable inclusion of the collection.
Moby remixes himself more often than not on the second disc, sharing space with
Photek and a not surprisingly creepy submission from
David Lynch. ~ Fred Thomas
