| Swelling at nearly 72 minutes in length via 33 tracks, The Re-Releases of the Un-Releases claims the throne as the definitive Chicks on Speed document. It is a remix collage of Chicks on Speed tracks by Viennese Ramon Bauer (Mego) and Gerhard Potuznik (Cheap, Mego, Breakin, IT). It features the more experimental and avant-garde side of the chicks, sewing the songs together with live recordings, chicks interviews, caustic noise bursts, and a lot of rare historic chicks material like the very first chicks recordings ever made. Equal parts cultural commentary and audio alchemy, you'll be hard pressed to encounter anything more crucially modernist than Chicks on Speed. Melding effortlessly the scorching tirade of Atari Teenage Riot, the sassy wave of the Human League, the nihilistic spiral of Suicide, and European techno from Kraftwerk to Pan Sonic into a singular fire-breathing animal, The Re-Releases of the Un-Releases documents the organic movement of Chicks on Speed. |
