Q: What are your thoughts on the new set of remixes on ‘Out Of Chaos Comes…’ and are they what you expected when you passed them along to the remixers?

A: The great thing about the process of compiling both of our remix albums is that I go into it with NO preconceived expectations! I have used the ‘Christmas morning’ analogy is it is truly a surprise when I get the mix in my inbox. A couple of the people may send along a rough mix or something for me to hear, but I don’t offer any thoughts or suggestions unless I am directly asked. I think we got a very diverse and interesting mix of remixes on both albums … something I am very proud of as I have stated that I am not usually a fan of remix albums .. meaning I don’t often delve back in after the first listen. I think the artists involved in these records love the freedom to ‘deconstruct and reconstruct’ the songs as they hear them. I also love that we have been able to add a few total re-recordings to both albums … like ‘The Long Goodbye’ (Au Revoir). the acoustic version of ‘Storm’ and Rolan Bolan’s ‘20th Century Boy’ on ‘Beauty Re-Envisioned’ and from the new record; Ashton Nyte’s ‘The Outside’, Johnny Indovina’s ‘Memory Of Love’ and of course Cinthya Hussey’s gorgeous version of “The Delicate Balance Of All Things’.
