Altered Zones

Just when his sing-a-long opus stopped merry-go-rounding through your psyche, Ariel Pink returned with a "Round and Round" remix this week to kick off his month-long North American tour with legendary Brazilian oddballs Os Mutantes. The new cut, by UK producer Little Loud, shrouds the carnivalesque quality of the original in the pleasant monotony of lounge for the cool-down room. The result is equally camp, but fresh enough to feel like a standalone work. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
