Anyone who's been to one of superproducer Jon Brion's residency performances at the Largo in L.A. (sadly, this does not include me) knows the man to be an encyclopedic, multi-instrumental compendium of pop music, able to recreate and revise nearly any moment in rock with his bare hands and a loop pedal or ten. This is the kind of man you get to do a remix CD. Enter of Montreal, who've commissioned Jon to lend his recreating, revising, superproducing digits to some Skeletal Lamping songs. As if they didn't fold over and remix themselves enough. As a first course try out the Brion take on the slinky, littany-of-sex-type-things track "Gallery Piece," which retains its funk, but gets an unexpected rinse of squeaky synths and 8-bit chirps. It's Nintendo sex.
