That Isis remixes album was actually exclusive to Japan until recently, the US edition was done almost a year afterwards (I think), and some of them are really really good (JK Broadrick - Hym, specifically).
As good (bad/useless ) as remixes are , chances are the originals are 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000[...]0 times better.The Angel Tears remix on March into the Sea is class though , sounds like Jesu hehe..
Hydrahead and Temporary Residence are joining forces to release a split 12" featuring Mono and Pelican. The limited edition split has a late summer/early fall release on it and will be released on vinyl only. This is apparantly the first in a series of split 12"s to be co-released by Hydrahead and TRL. Although this is the only confirmed split as of yet, there are rumors of a future split between Jesu and Tarantel also.
Mono and Pelican joining forces...best split EP ever. March Into The Sea is awesome beyond words, I have to question the logic behind including an edit on the full length, but the rest of the album will kick enough ass, so it hardly matters.
I'll probably buy March Into The Sea in an hour or so, when me and my gf head into town. I adore Australasia, so I'm looking forward to hearing this and the new full-length.
