HEALTH - Triceratops (Acid Girls Rmx A)
I picked up the Health remix album HEALTH//DISCO on the strength of this track which I heard at a party last week. I’ve never heard any proper non-remix Health music, but I’m really digging DISCO. As a follow-up to the band’s debut LP, there’s obviously not much original source material and indeed we have three remixes of “Triceratops” and two of “Heaven” and “Lost Time”. But this works to the album’s benefit as the multiply remixed tracks serve as points of reference and return as the album develops. Thus, the whole thing plays more like an smartly curated DJ setlist. I’m a sucker for abrasive dance music—see LCD Soundsystem’s “Yeah”, Daft Punk’s “Rock and Roll”, the Justice and Crystal Castles albums—so your mileage may vary.
