The idea for this EP was hatched when High Llamas frontman Sean O'Hagan decided to collect on a few remixing debts from his musical friends. With cutting-edge names like Cornelius, Mouse on Mars, and Jim O'Rourke already confirmed, he enlisted some lesser-knowns--Schneider TM, Kid Loco, and Stock, Hausen & Walkman--and made a proper release out of it. Most of the guest remixers dutifully dissolve the Llamas' lushly orchestrated pop suites into twitching, beat-infused experimental works. O'Rourke's remake of "Mini-Management" is typical, as the original's brass arrangements are stripped away and the banjo lines are played through an abrasive filter. The results aren't always so fascinating, but Lollo Rosso does provide a nice reprieve from O'Hagan's typical Brian Wilson-like meanderings. --Aidin Vaziri --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

While each remixer leaves audible fingerprints behind, the buoyant spirit of the High Llamas remains intact. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
