During their recording sessions with Gillian Anderson in Vancouver in 1997 which resulted in the hit single EXTREMIS, the members of HAL also created an ambient mix of the track, featuring Gillian in a restless mood, reflecting on her dreams of an uncertain future in a world menaced by predatory robotic machines. Entitled 'Kitsilano Kool', it is a breathless piece of music, beautifully complemented by Gillian's urgent tones in a vocal track significantly different from the original mix. After gathering dust for several years deep in the vaults at HAL towers it was made available for the first time on EXTREMIX, a ten-track compilation CD of various new & re-worked HAL tracks. |

Whilst 'Kitsilano Kool' sets the pace on this unique release, it is accompanied by a remarkable collection of übercool other-world HAL remixes from the likes of Sheffield's cinematic specialists In The Nursery, Bristol's mesmeric sound alchemists Alpha and Vancouver's premier techno-terrorists The Humble Brothers. The Extremix CD is not only an essential collector's item for officionados of all-things Gillian Anderson but also a check-it-out priority for anyone who likes their music buttered on both sides. |
