Lotus - Copy, Paste, Repeat: Lotus Remixed

Remixing is an art form. Not many are really good at it, but if it's done with craftmanship, good ears, gusto and feeling, well then the results can sound amazing.

So where does Copy, Paste, Repeat: Lotus Remixed stand? Twelve takes on the back catalogue of Philadelphia electronic jam band Lotus flow together as one heavy funky electronic track from dance music heaven.
