Back in 2011, Markus Guentner and Heiko Badje formed Stareaway to follow their vision of creating both enchanting and haunting music from melodies and drones. Combining Guentner's complex wall of electronic sound and Badje's ethereal androgyn voice and multi-faceted guitar play, they indeed produced some epic works between ambient, pop, and shoegaze, strangely shimmering and profoundly mysterious. Now, Stareaway's fantastic (and back then maybe a little overlooked) album No Life In This Ghost Town (NT 001LP, 2013) sees its rerelease and is, for celebrational purposes, accompanied by this EP of four stunning remixes by stunning artists Rafael Anton Irisarri (who also did the mastering), Simon Scott (Slowdive), Thomas Fehlmann, and David Westlake (ex-Sneaker Pimps). Rafael Anton Irisarri's magical take on "O Suomi" sparkles bright, still with melancholia always present. David Westlake emphasizes the pop aspect of "Appointments", adding lush synth melodies and light-filled grooves while Thomas Fehlmann lets "All Over You" spiral into pop ambients most majestic heights. Finally, Simon Scott builds a "Kathedrale aus Klang" on "Dreams May Never". Amazing remixes of amazing originals.
