Secondhand Sounds: Herbert Remixes

Product Description
Gathered together here are some of his best, most sought after mixes and even a couple of previously unreleased ones. And the pedigree of the musicians who sought mixes by Mat is not to be sniffed at. Serge Gainsbourg, Moloko, Blaze, Recloose, Louie Austin are just a few of the names here. With a total of 21 mixes across a double CD gatefold digipac this is the most extensive, comprehensive catalog of Mats undeniable remixing talents. Due to the diversity of his work Matthew's music has an already strong fan base in both the house and electronica scenes, therefore the demand for this release, much of which has never been on CD before should be high. Highlights include, Serge Gainsbourg 'Bonnie & Clyde (Herbert's Fred & Ginger Mix)', Moloko 'Sing It Back (Herbert's Tasteful Dub)', Mono 'Highlife (Remember Herbert's Mix)', Dzihan & Kamien 'Before (Herbert's After Dub Remix)' and many more.

second time luckier.......2006-09-02

Lovely, this. Nice selections and even better remixes. Not a dud amongst any of the tracks on this two-cd compilation but check out, in particular, super remixes of dZihan and Kamien's before and Serge Gainsbourg's Bonnie and Clyde. Thoroughly recommended

I WILL ATTEMPT TO REVIEW THIS CD AGAIN..........2003-12-11

The last two attempts at trying to tell you guys how awesome "Secondhands Sounds" is failed to get posted...so I will try again hoping this will be the charm. Herbert, this Phenom Phenomenon, has done yet another amazing job of mixing and producing or in this case remixing, making songs from the likes of Nils Petter Molvaer, Motorbass, Two Banks of Four, Presence, Terra Deva, Moloko, Louie Austen and Dzihan & Kamien his own with his signature style of taking everyday sounds and manipulating them into wonderful pieces. "Secondhands Sounds" won't appeal to all, but if you like mix CDs, it's worth checking out.

Ever so scrumptious! (Vinyl snobs beware...).......2002-06-21

Matthew Herbert collects some of his best remixes into an excellent set of songs. Most of the tunes on this set are 4/4 time and range from 110-125 bpm and would fit nicely into the faster tempo portion of a chillout set or a quiter portion of a house set.

Herbert's genius has always been giving every remix a distinctive flavor and this set represents that very nicely. I can't quite describe it, though... it's smooth, but still interesting. You could read with this as background or it could play very nicely loud in a club setting.

I had some difficulty giving this record five stars because we vinyl snobs have to pick it up in two halves at...a pop. On the other hand, you get six pieces of quality vinyl out of the deal and a few extra songs, all on the second half:
1.) Mr Oizo - Last Night Herbert Murdered My Poodle
2.) Ferenc - Brown Beat [Feed Me Herbert Mix]
3.) Bjork - Pagan Poetry [Matthew Herbert Handshake Mix]
4.) Agent Blue - Opera [Herbert's Late Night London]

a new language in music.......2002-05-28

You have to buy this album now. Not later, not tommorow, right now. It is the future of music. It will amaze you. The mixes are indescribable. just listen closely.

go and get it.......2002-03-18

who would have thought that double album of only remixes could be so inovative and brilliant
