Versions’ leaves out the vocals and exposes the production as it drifts off into instrumental bliss…

All-time classic, life-changing biz.

The hallmarks are all there; Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald have already set the world ablaze once, twice, three, four times with their work as Basic Channel and its legendary offshoots by way of the M series, Main Street, Chain Reaction, Rhythm and Sound and, of course, Burial Mix.

This is, in fact, the second Burial Mix compilation, the first “showcase” concentrating on the label’s collaborations with Paul St Hilaire, aka Tikiman, for its opening set of releases. This second installment divides itself into Vocal and Instrumental “Versions” (the instrumentals are collected seperately on a “Versions” release), displaying the last seven releases in their entirety, plus “Mash Down Babylon” (a new take on “March Down Babylon”).

The goatest?
