I'm not sure that remixes are the right way to go for instrumental bands, especially (as you say) ones like Balmorhea that rely on the strong atmospheric crescendos as well as the smallest notes to make them work. When you pull apart something as beautiful as their music and try to re-fashion it into something else, it'll never top the original. Explosions in the Sky did something similar.

There are a few tracks that do get there, but overall I think we are not looking at a Balmorhea album, but simply a remix album....unfortunately. That is how I feel to!

I like Balmorhea as Balmorhea. I got excited, listened once, and now I’m trying to figure out what the point is exactly. I like Balmorhea as Balmorhea.
