<a href="/tags/the-crystal-method">The Crystal Method</a> celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of ‘Tweekend’ with a remastered limited-edition vinyl release, new remixes and a forthcoming American tour. The 2001 album helped carry big beat and breakbeat electronics from clubs into gaming, film, television and the wider popular imagination, arriving at a time when distorted synthesizers could make almost any chase scene appear significantly more expensive.
The anniversary pressing uses vivid orange vinyl inspired by the original artwork and includes a remastered CD, while updated versions of ‘Name of the Game’ bring fresh producers into the celebration. Anniversary campaigns can sometimes feel like old machinery receiving a commemorative sticker, but this one makes sense because ‘Tweekend’ was built around grinding rhythm, oversized hooks and production that still sounds capable of causing minor structural concerns.
