Sneaker Pimps - 《Becoming Remixed》 专辑介绍
中文简介
《Becoming Remixed》 是英国Trip-Hop先锋 Sneaker Pimps 于1998年发行的官方混音专辑，对1996年经典之作 《Becoming X》 进行颠覆性重构。这张由 Nellee Hooper（Massive Attack、Björk御用制作人） 监制的作品，将原专辑的阴郁美学推向更极致的电子实验领域。
混音亮点：
- 《Spin Spin Sugar》（Armand's Dark Garage Mix） —— 纽约传奇DJ Armand Van Helden注入黑暗车库节奏，成为1998年地下俱乐部圣歌
- 《6 Underground》（Nellee Hooper's Jeep Mix） —— 原版空灵人声与非洲鼓点碰撞，被《黑客帝国》DVD特别版收录
- 《Post-Modern Sleaze》（David Holmes Remix） —— 007系列配乐大师加入间谍电影式弦乐
- 隐藏音轨包含Kelli Ali离队前最后录制的未发表Demo《Unused》
文化现象：
专辑封面将原版X光手部影像转化为3D渲染的赛博器官，内页采用热敏墨水印刷——聆听时手掌温度会使隐藏歌词显现。

这张专辑如同用1998年的互联网拨号音演绎的《银翼杀手》配乐，2019年黑胶再版时混音师们用原始DAT磁带进行了AI分离重制。
Like a Blade Runner soundtrack performed with 1998 dial-up tones—the 2019 vinyl reissue used AI stem separation on original DATs. ??
Trivia: Armand的混音版本最初被乐队拒绝，后因其在纽约Paradise Garage夜店试播引发疯狂反响才被收录。
