Burn

While ‘Burn’ is nothing more than a mediocre offering from an underwhelming album (Crimson), what saves it from the dumper is the myriad of remixers that have their way with the track. Tim Armstrong (Rancid, The Transplants) takes ska to its logical conclusion by introducing steel drums and a reggae beat, with astounding results. Sheffield noisemongers 65daysofstatic throw all sorts of craziness into the equation when they get their turn, and they too come up with a work of modern art. Test Icicles slow (and dull) it down, but as Meatloaf once said, two out of three ain’t bad.
