Madvillian ReVISION

New concept for a web-only release. The Revision Series will feature remixed cover work and albums and be given away/ announced online without any major record store promotion. Here is the blurb from the redefinitionrecords.com site:

In an era where liner notes and record jackets are almost non-existent and where fans often hear the leaked version of an album weeks and sometimes months before a project is properly released, we’re particularly proud to bring the element of surprise back to music, even if on a small scale.  Future editions of ReVISIONS and the artists covered and involved will not be announced prior to their release, and will ironically be released right here on the net instead of your local record store, as free downloads.

The site is worth checking out and will hopefully bring about more interesting collaboration efforts from Damu, the artists responsible. In a recent blog post Damu mentions having just finished a track for Buff1. Below check out the stream player of the Madvillian track Beat Grinder that has a built in link for the free download.

And on pure web design note, I really wish the imeem embed players looked this clean. Say no to cluttered ad space.

Track of the Day - Kanye West “Love lockdown” (Catharsis remix)

Since Kanye decided to put up his love lockdown acapella on his site, it was only right to expect hundreds of remixes. So far…mostly garbage. In all fairness, that is one tough track to remix well - its just so different from anything else out there. But this guy french dude Catharsis has done a decent job on the track, by far the best out there.

Listen. Enjoy. Download.
