CLove & Light / The Drums Remixes features reworks from Worst friends Tom Croose
and Slow Hands. Fresh from his recent outing on Resista, Tom Croose is kept busy with
not one, but two remixes of mr Perri. First up and taking up the whole of side A, %u201CLove &
Light%u201D %u2013 originally on 2011%u2019s %u201CImpossible Spaces%u201D %u2013 gets a subtle electronic re-rub with
restrained electronic flourishes that gently complement the original's organic, ethereal
sound %u2013 a weirdly captivating, mystical trip! All that, while getting boosted from a
criminally short three and a half minutes to a more respectable nine plus%u2026
Next up is Slow Hands, Tom Croose%u2019s partner in Worst Friends who has released on
Wolf Lamb. He takes %u201CThe Drums%u201D (a track from Sandro%u2019s debut album %u201CTiny Mirrors%u201D) to
places where it%u2019s never been before. by re-imagining the song into a breezy summer
anthem where old school electric piano stabs, handclaps and a general feel-good vibes
take centre stage.
Rounding off this excellent remix 12%u201D we have Tom Croose again, who returns for
another version of %u201CThe Drums%u201D and harmoniously marries synth riffs and a laid back
groove with Sandro%u2019s signature contemplative vocal, rounding off this excellent remix
package in style.
