Kscope

Insurgentes, the debut album from Steven Wilson, was released in 2009 on Kscope. The album immediately received a rapturous reception from not just fans and critics but also from fellow artists. Several of these artists have remixed tracks from the album and NSRGNTS RMXS is a collection of some of these remixes.

The CD edition of NSRGNTS RMXS opens with a mix of Harmony Korine by David A. Sitek, who enjoyed massive critical acclaim for the TV On The Radio album. Underground hip-hop pioneers Dalek have created a dark, brooding mix of Get All You Deserve (think Massive Attack meets UNKLE). Engineers have brought their widescreen sound to Abandoner while Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, XTC) has created a sprawling mix of Salvaging and drone act Fear Falls Burning have also reworked Get All You Deserve.

The mini-album is completed by the winner of the remix competition which ran on the Insurgentes mini-site. The competition offered fans the chance to remix the Insurgentes track Abandoner. Steven listened to all the entries and whittled them down to a final eight mixes. The eight mixes are now up on the www.insurgentes.org mini-site giving fans the chance to vote for their favourite.

A 12" vinyl edition of NSRGNTS RMXS, limited to 1000 copies only was available exclusively from the Kscope store. It features the David A. Sitek mix along with two mixes of Only Child by Pat Mastelotto. It has now sold out.
