A nice set of remixes. I am particularly fond of the Matthew Dear mix of Flat For You. A good mix of vocals and nice sounding IDM stuff.

Think Radiohead doing drum n bass. Matt Elliott's early experimental dnb project is some of the fiercest and fastest music I have ever heard in this style. It still sounds as fresh as ever. I deeply respect Matt as a musician, and his choice to put this project on the back burner and pursue a career as a solo acoustic musician, who still channels the same melancholy, depressing and frustrated emotions but in a completely different musical style. In addition to his solo stuff, Matt still manages to remix many a big named musician under his 3EF moniker.

Channel the frustration Matt. We are listening.
