Nymphaea has been a staple of the DARSOMBRA set for 2+ years. Always a crowd favorite, the track was only released on the untitled 55 artist, 3CD compilation that PG co-curated in 2007. Now, DARSOMBRA has decided to retire the song from the live set. In lieu of a memorial, Public Guilt asked 12 remixers to have a crack at reinterpreting the track. What better way to lay something to rest than to rip it apart and let other people put it back together? From children's toys-based pop songs to blissed-out ambience, throbbing electronica to vocal interpretations sung in Latin, the resulting tracks on Nymphaea are an eclectic and varied bunch.
