I wanted to like this but this is terrible. I hope the other remixes are better.

Gotta disagree– while Pete Rock is never better than OK on the mic, he’s nearly always very good to great producing, and this is no exception. I’ve not heard every YLT remix but this type of dubbed out hip-hop is dandy. I’m not going to read the record reviews in WIRE ever again to say there isn’t better but kudos to YLT for reaching out like this.
Speaking of remixes, don’t miss Mos Def on Gil Scott-Heron’s ‘New York Is Killing Me’–

Still flabbergasted Gil covers Smog on that album– have weirder things happened?!
