My Brightest Diamond - Shark Remixes

Review by Alexander Tudor

The new remix album from genre-hopping, classically trained Shara Worden is – no, wait! Come back! Please. Really. I know what you’re thinking. Fact is, this might be the best remix album since Nine Inch Nails’ Further Down the Spiral.»

the music of my brightest diamond lends itself well to remixes. shara worden's exquisite voice provides the perfect lead (or backing track) for any sort of deconstructing or restructuring of her original music. my brightest diamond and asthmatic kitty desired to create a cohesive and conceptual project as opposed to a mere remix album. they brought on four remixers (alfred brown, dm stith, son lux and roberto carlos lange (epstein, savath and savalas, rom) and commissioned them to each create a separate ep of remixed material. the eps are beautifully packaged and hand numbered (edition of 1500) and signed by shara worden of my brightest diamond. shara herself has been more than busy over the last 12 months - recording and performing with the decemberists and is soon to be heard on the new david byrne record.
