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 projects sharing a long 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.

At its core is the brand-new single version of “Kids Alone”, fully re-recorded in a spirited Neue Deutsche Welle / electropunk style. Teenagers throw a wild “Project X”–style house party while a playful nod to PINK FLOYD flickers beneath the chaos – somewhere between JOHN MAUS and FALCO on a sugar rush.

The EP dives deeper with the extended, remastered “Spiritchaser”, a cold and introspective new wave piece echoing DEPECHE MODE and CLAN OF XYMOX, before collapsing into the haunting “Deafness”, a gothic/post-punk lament in the vein of PARADISE LOST and CHRISTIAN DEATH.

Remixes expand the dream: AUX ANIMAUX injects “Kids Alone” with eerie darkwave intensity, MÄNGELEXEMPLAR reshapes “Spiritchaser” into a shadowy mechanical vision; and KINEX KINEX joins the band for a moving dark-folk reimagination of “Wegvliegen”.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Len Lemeire, featuring lyrical contributions from Kelly O’Hara, and wrapped in striking artwork by Nicolas Crombez, “Kids Alone” captures the band at their most playful, poetic, and paradoxical – a spirit perfectly echoed in the accompanying video clip, creatively reimagined from the 1935 Betty Boop cartoon “Baby Be Good”.

A perfect companion piece to “Paradoxical Sleep” – and a window into the many faces of THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS.

Now unveiled in an exclusive shimmering single version, the track radiates raw fragility while a stunning reimagining by Parisian collective CURTAIN injects lush pop textures and pulsating breakbeats for an unexpected twist.

The single comes with a captivating video directed by Misty, the band’s long-time visual accomplice, and features cover artwork inspired by Antoine Brodin’s evocative illustration of a murmuration of starlings in flight.

A haunting highlight from the “Paradoxical Sleep” album – “Envoler” is a song that lingers, aches, and soars.
