Since its original release on the Astralwerks album [i]Invisible Airline[/i] in 2001, the [b]Q-Burns Abstract Message[/b] song "[b]Innocent[/b]," featuring the vocals of [b]Lisa Shaw[/b], has seen many reappearances and remixes. The first mixes by King Britt and Lovesky released as part of the [i]Re-Routed[/i] collection on [b]Eighth Dimension[/b] were soon followed by stunning reworks from Joey Negro and Magik Johnson for Britain's NRK label.
Years later, Eighth Dimension was contacted by House Arrest label impresario [b]Cole Medina[/b] requesting to revisit this track, one of his favorites, for an even newer remix. Being a big fan of Medina's excellent work, which includes his top notch remix of Sleazy McQueen's "Anna Due" and his many sought after re-edits, the label promptly handed over the "Innocent" parts anxious to hear the result. Cole Medina did not disappoint at all: he promptly delivered three completely different, fantastic remixes of "[b]Innocent[/b]."
The first of Medina's mixes is the [b][i]Nue Boogie Mix[/i][/b] with its soulful, low-slung disco funk. Dramatic percussion and an unrelenting keyboard riff play against Lisa Shaw's expressive vocal providing a dose of ear-pleasing musical tension. Cole's [b][i]Bottom Heavy Tunnel Mix[/i][/b] increases the tempo with a late night club-ready house mix. Over the insistent four-on-the-floor rhythm a healthy wash of reverb is applied to Lisa's vocals giving this one a decidedly big room feel. The delicately sparse arrangement is tailor made for booming in an after-hours warehouse. Finally, Cole turns a total 180 with his [b][i]Why Love Sucks Mix[/i][/b], a downtempo treatment comfortably placing the song in Portishead territory. Lisa Shaw suddenly takes the role of chanteuse as cabaret piano and emotive strings hover over the plodding, trip hop beats.
[b]Cole Medina[/b]'s return to "[b]Innocent[/b]" precedes future singles and projects from [b]Q-Burns Abstract Message[/b] including the upcoming "Dark Roots" and the mysterious "Balearic Chainsaw." Keeps ears locked on [b]Eighth Dimension[/b] for more exciting sounds to come.
