Following the acclaimed album Paradoxical Sleep, Belgian post‑punk outfit The Ultimate Dreamers return with a special six‑track remix EP, Paradoxical Implants, created in close collaboration with their long‑time producer Len Lemeire – also known for his work with Implant.
What began as a simple remix request quickly evolved into something far more ambitious. Caught in the creative momentum, Len Lemeire ended up deconstructing and rebuilding 6 songs from Paradoxical Sleep - tracks he had already shaped in the studio during months of production. The result is not just a remix EP, but a genuine fusion between two sonic identities: the melancholic post-punk of The Ultimate Dreamers colliding with the sharp electronic edge of Implant.
Each track is reborn from a new angle. "Digging" dives into harsher, noisy territories of broken beats and dense electronics, while "Kids Alone" leans into a more classic EBM pulse. "Spiritchaser" shines with an irresistible synth-driven glow, blending old-school electronics with the song's original spirit, while "Far Away" expands its emotional depth through richer synthetic textures. The haunting "Into The Fog" takes a more spectral turn, amplifying its dreamlike atmosphere, and "Envoler" is stripped down and reshaped with a subtle cold-wave aura inspired by the timeless melancholy of Trisomie 21.
More than a remix project, this EP stands as a true artistic dialogue between two acts with a long shared creative history. Post‑punk shadows meet electronic body music; introspection meets rhythm; nostalgia meets the dancefloor.
A bold reinterpretation of Paradoxical Sleep and a fascinating bridge between the worlds of The Ultimate Dreamers and Implant. Link
