News on the Maximo Park website and picked up from Twitter:

Remix Album Announced!
9 June 2010 / Posted by dg1982 / Posted in Release-news

We are very pleased to announce the release of our first Remix Album. It consists of nine tracks taken from our most recent LP, Quicken The Heart, which have been warped, shaped and moulded into entirely different pieces of music. However, this is a remix album with a twist. All the tracks have been produced by new, underground North East based artists and a CD of the tracks will be available free only with a copy of the July issue of NARC., a free north east based music and listings publication.

All the nine tracks featured on the CD come from a project we started earlier this year, when we streamed all the material from Quicken The Heart online and using local websites and magazines, asked any north east based artists who felt like it to have a go at reworking the raw material. The results have been amazing, and in total we have received over thirty remixes.

Although the CD will only be available to a certain few who manage to get their hands on the July NARC., we will be putting all the remixes we have received up on our website where anybody can stream and download the tracks for free. We are aiming to launch all this on June 30th.

Meanwhile, if you want to know a bit more about the remix project you can go to www.Generator.org.uk and www.NarcMedia.com

I'll be watching the website from the end of this month...
