Although
Microstoria began as something of a low-budget distraction, the
Oval/
Mouse on Mars side project has steadily become one of the Mille Plateaux label's highest profile groups (thanks also in part to American indie label Thrill Jockey's committed reissue program).
Reprovisers suggests as much by gathering together an impressive range of remix talent to attack tracks from the group's two LPs. The results are, as expected, fascinating, ranging from the humorous, structured abstractions of
Ui and
Stereolab to the refractive minimalism of
Jim O'Rourke and
Mouse on Mars, to the stuttery, disjointed spasms of
Christophe Charles.
