vermont: prins thomas versions

Vermont's eponymous full-length debut introduced the public to an astonishingly different musical side of the project's founders Marcus Worgull and Danilo Plessow (of Motor City Drum Ensemble fame). With these Prins Thomas versions, another revered hero of contemporary dancefloors enters the stage, with three brilliant reworks that emphasize the rhythmic elements of original cuts "Dynamik," "Elektron," and "Macchina" without betraying their laid-back vibe. He does so by turning to airier variants of classic dance music styles -- techno, house, even a hint of dub reggae, for good measure -- and let them do the legwork.
