    As long as you're up for more mood and texture experiments there's plenty of interest. [Dec. 2011 p. 135]

    These 19 tracks feel designed to float in a space between clear genre boundaries, somewhere purposefully undefined. [Nov 2011, p.106]

    The inherent structural flaws of any given remix album also plague TKOL RMX--a lack of consistency, flow or narrative.

    A far greater number of these remixes flatten out the complexity of TKOL's grooves in favor of commonplace arrangements.

    Too often TKOL RMX 1234567 feels as calculated and mechanical as its soulless title.

    This set intensifies the dilemma of its parent album: ostensibly unconventional music that feels all too familiar.

The Jacques Green and Caribou mixes have become some of my all time favourite tracks, and there are some fascinating reinventions of TKOL that I never could have anticipated. For those that really loved TKOL, this is a great companion which unlocks some of the deeper mysteries of those tracks, and TKOL seems made for this sort of treatment - sprouting new leaves and growing again in new shapes - The King of Stems?… Full Review »

It's a bunch of bogged down bad elevator music for tecno geeks. To call it a disappointment would be unfair.

    Nope. No. Not for me. I haven't been much for remixes but even i can tell this is a miss.
