Proving that an air-rage trial can’t keep a good band down, Athens, Georgia’s own REM have
greeted the 21st century with aplomb and have released an internet-only remix album. The album,
wittily enough entitled r.e.m.IX, is a 10-track reworking of last year’s Reveal material.
According to undercover.com, among the featured remixers are Matthew Herbert,
Bilal-collaborator Dahroud Darien, Marc Bianchi of San Francisco’s Her
Space Holiday and Now It’s Overhead’s Andy LeMaster. The record is available
for download at REM’s webiste, remhq.com, and the band has even been kind enough to
include artwork. Hoorah for technology. Or something.
