"Heaven"/"Gun/Little Suicides"
The Golden Palominos
Produced by Anton Fier
(Restless/US)

This promo is a sampler of the upcoming album, "Pure," and it features remixes from Bill Laswell and Terre Thaemlitz. Laswell's You Have to Be Seen in Hell to See Heaven Mix of "Heaven" is a stripped down version of the original (also found here) that places more focus on the vocals and adds some piano interludes. Both versions are nice, but Laswell's outshines the original as a result of its bare elegance. The Brown Stain Walls, Red Jelly Corners version of "Gun/Little Suicides" by Terre Thaemlitz delights with lazily exiting guitars (from none other than Nicky Skopelitis) and is distinctive as a result of the vocal melodies and rhythm track being built from backwards samples. It's one of those wonderful headtrips that has distinguished Thaemlitz' other works.
