An incredible little record, one that has Jimi Tenor "re-composing" a host of modern avant compositions from the Deustche Grammophon archives, turning them into whole new tracks with his wickedly creative touches!! Tenor's music has always had a complexity in itself, a richness that instantly set him apart from most of his dancefloor-focused contemporaries, and which has kept us coming back to his music for years. Yet this set may well be his boldest musical triumph, a re-imagining of works by some of the 20th Century's most inventive composers, handled by Tenor with some of the elements of the originals, plus some added instrumentation, electronics, and studio touches of his own, more than enough to re-charge these tunes with some key 21st Century energy!!
