with its nasty-sounding bass and thundering drums, they prove to be just as nimble and handy with the EQ dials. It's an impressive feat from a production point of view for sure, but more than that it's a compelling take on an already great album. Temples were right to trust Alkan and Norris with their work; the duo treated it with care, wrapped it in color and light, and handed back something almost as special as the original. One can't ask for much more than that.

The psychedelic tapestry of Temples’ ‘Sun Structures’ debut was home-produced in Kettering by frontman James Bagshaw. On the tellingly titled ‘Sun Restructured’, he places his music in the hands of Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve, a production duo made up of Erol Alkan and Richard Norris. This suite of “reanimations” finds the pair sidelining Temples’ retro arrangements in favour of acid-fried expanded versions, soaking the drums in dub, ramping up the fuzz and sending strings and harps spiralling into the ether. The Wizard’s Sleeve magic almost makes Bagshaw vanish from his own record, but thumping reworks of ‘Sand Dance’ and ‘A Question Isn’t Answered’ rival the originals.
