Redrawn Figures Volume 1

During the year which followed the release of the Figures double album, 14 artists have revisited or remixed songs from Aksak Maboul's acclaimed "comeback" opus. Participants include experimental pop luminaries The Notwist (DE), Cate Le Bon (GB), Kate NV (RU) and Vanishing Twin (GB), respected electronic music artists Felix Kubin (DE), Tolouse Low Trax (DE), Hello Skinny aka Tom Skinner (Thom Yorke's new bandmate in the Smile project, GB), Matias Aguayo (CL/DE) and Stubbleman aka Pascal Gabriel (GB/BE), revered experimentalist Carl Stone (US), up-an-coming beat makers Shungu (BE) and ohh_luuu (US), Nihiloxoca's Spooky-J (GB) and Chicago house veteran Jordan Fields (US). Additionally, Aksak Maboul's Marc Hollander has reworked 4 tracks.All of these colourful interpretations are available on two separate, limited-edition vinyl LPs.In order to extend the fun (and push the title's metaphor a bit further), Aksak Maboul have asked the contributors to also revisit Véronique Vincent's painting which adorned the front cover of Figures! So the 1st LP artwork will contain 16 "redrawings" of the original cover, done by most of the artists mentioned above, each in their own personal style. As for cover of the 2nd LP, it features a visual remix of Véronique's painting by renowned French painter Hervé Di Rosa.
