The Iceland-based sound artist Ben Frost released one of 2014's best records, A U R O R A, so here comes the obligatory remix EP, . It's frontloaded with three takes on ceremonially pounding highlight "Venter", followed by versions of the equally forceful "Nolan" and the calmer drone piece "No Sorrowing". Frost mines a hard, ferrous seam between multiple genres related by intensity and repetition, and these remixes isolate them in individual strands—noise (Dutch E Germ), ambient (HTRK), dance (Evian Christ and Kangding Ray), and industrial (Regis). This results in diluted tracks that either pale in comparison to the brawny originals, seem superficially connected to them, or both. It would be a tall order to expect them to rival Frost's raw power, but these remixes don't unearth much fascinating stuff, and the EP turns out (mostly) competent but wan.
