Joshua Eustis and Charlie Cooper, the duo that make up Telefon Tel Aviv, are releasing an album of remixes culled from the last seven years – the band’s entire lifespan to date.
When the levee broke and their hometown of New Orleans was virtually washed away by Hurricane Katrina, Telefon Tel Aviv was forced to take inventory of their lives and careers. By compiling their remix output onto one disc, they offer a 50-minute, re-education of Telefon Tel Aviv and simultaneously highlight the sweeping beauty and schizophrenic nature of their music. The end result is a collection of tracks that are disparate as Trent Reznor and Phil Ranelin, but thick as alligator jambalaya in the swamps of Louisiana.
The new album – Remixes Compiled – follows Eustis and Cooper chronologically through their labyrinth of production work; beginning with the previously unreleased Nine Inch Nails remix from February of 2000. Having been the only song from their early output recorded at Reznor’s Nothing Studios (and consequently the only one
not recorded in Eustis’s parents’ house), it was actually the first song they did under the name Telefon Tel Aviv. These early songs have a science-fiction sound, filled to the brim with digital trickery and sound design. The later pieces are more patient and spread themselves out over profound soundscapes, preserving sometimes only the chord progressions from the original tracks.
Eustis and Cooper have no formula for remixing and approach each track independently. The John Hughes remix is loud and blown out, constructed with sixty tracks of guitars. The Oliver Nelson is built on a string arrangement, while the Bebel Giberto slowly allows itself to go out of tune. Each song arranged chronologically according to its date of recording, helping the listener map the sequential cross section. Every track brings someone and something new to the dinner table – with fans of Apparat rubbing elbows with followers of Bebel Giberto. Nine Inch Nails fans can get a spoonful of Slicker, and jazz enthusiasts hear trombonist Phil Ranelin in a new light.
These are slow-cooked diagrams of everything the storms left behind and all that we will need for the future.
Tracklist:
* Nine Inch Nails - Even Deeper
* Bebel Gilberto - All Around
* John Hughes - Got Me Lost/Driving In L.A.
* Apparat - Komponent
* Ammoncontact - BBQ Plate
* American Analog Set - The Green Green Grass
* Midwest Product - A Genuine Display
* Oliver Nelson - Stolen Moments
* Phil Ranelin - Time Is Running Out
* Nitrada - Fading Away
* Marc Hellner - Asleep On The Wing
* Slicker - Knock Me Down Girl

Telefon Tel Aviv is usually classified in IDM. Great music for anyone that digs this style and sub genres...
They classify their music in Electronica / Experimental / Psychedelic as per their MySpace.

Sharing a love for classical music, as well as electronic and ambient techno, duo Telefon Tel Aviv (Joshua Eustis and Charles Cooper) formed in 1999 in New Orleans. After a four-song demo made its way to experimental electronic label Hefty records, the duo released their debut full-length, Fahrenheit Fair Enough, in September 2001. In addition to this recording, Telefon Tel Aviv has contributed to several other projects, including Slicker (also on Hefty) and remixes for Nine Inch Nails' Things Falling Apart EP. Also in 2001, the duo composed the score for New Port South, a feature film by Kyle Cooper (director of the main title sequence to Seven and founder of Imaginary Forces, a Los Angeles design firm). ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide Written by Kenyon Hopkin.
