RE:FREE

'Re:Free' is an EP by OSI released in 2006, practically an extension of the band's 'Free' studio album from that same year, as it features three reworked by Kevin Moore songs from the album, namely 'GO', 'Kicking' and 'Home Was Good'. Obviously in line with the more experimental nature of the album, the remixed songs on the EP are also very experimental, extended in length and firmly pertaining to the electronic genre that is ever so familiar to Moore. The reworked songs resemble something that might have been done by Ryuichi Sakamoto or has been used as a bonus track on a Massive Attack album. It is in any case an interesting extra release, using as its basis material from the album that has been re-imagined by the artist in a somewhat "choppy" and even glitchy manner, pretty much anticipating the popularization of glitch pop in the 2010s. Especially interesting is the 10-minute remix of 'GO' whose glitchy sounds really suit the style of the original track. An overall nice effort that extends the sonic image of the 'Free' album.
