Putting 2020's Pyramid through the remix wringer, Norwegian progressive jazz ensemble Jaga Jazzist emphasize the psychedelic qualities of their work. Pyramid was light and breezy compared to some of their other albums, taking only two weeks to create, and several of the producers pick up on the tracks' most entrancing rhythmic elements while leaving some space to showcase interesting solos or instrumental parts. Prins Thomas delivers two masterful 11-minute space-disco workouts, one with longtime collaborator Lindstrøm, and both are everything one would want or expect. "The Shrine (OKIOK Remix)" is also a progressive disco epic, but otherwise the mixes aren't as club-focused. "The Shrine (Petter Eldh Remix)," the first track, builds up tricky rhythms with dense, choppy drums before reaching a more atmospheric, spaced-out ending. "Tomita (Paul Bender Remix)" is the most characteristically Brainfeeder-sounding mix present, with knocking beats and tripped-out effects draped around the calm opening section of the piece. Ian Chang's take on "The Shrine" shapes dark horn rifts into a skittering beat, and then transforms prickly guitar notes into a web of fractals. Finally, André Bratten's mix of "Tomita" is a dubbed-out swirl of atmospheric sax and slow, sparse drum machine pulsations. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
