Album Review: Digitalism, Hands on Idealism(Virgin)

Disco Treasure
From the German-electro-dance duo arrives this special remix set, on which they address the self-professed "hidden gems" of their Idealism full-length by inviting friends to rework selected tracks alongside their own efforts. Opening with the concrete bounce of "Pogo," these are solid if sometimes repetitive late-night club jams, sharply EQ'd and moving at high speed. Breakbot's "Hypnotoad" remix of "Apollo-Gize" focuses on grainy synths, while Siriusmo's take on "Echoes" whizzes and clangs like a high-tech pot boiling, one-upped only by Digitalism's own cool "Underwater" club extension of the same track.—Kristi Kates (3.5 out of 5 stars)
