The project is finished. Here it is for anyone interested. For those of you too lazy to scroll down, this is a remix album featuring Sizzla acapella tracks over new dancehall riddims constructed by me from spaghetti western soundtrack samples and newly recorded instrumental bits. The .zip file in the link contains cover art and notes. It was a bigger pain in the ass than I thought it would be, so enjoy it, you bastards.

Damn good coffee. Damn good cherry pie.
FBI Listening List
The Devil's Blood, "Come Reap"
Given the band name and album cover, and this blog's musical predilections, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was another death metal band. Actually they're a retro rock/metal band that sounds like the perfect choice to do a new soundtrack for the original "Wicker Man" - somewhere between early Heart, Jethro Tull, and Sabbath, with a serious occult fixation. If we had a time machine and lived in hell this band would be on the radio all day long.
The Soviettes, "LP III"
Yelpy female-fronted punk with close precedents in the frantic, minimalist likes of Wire and Stiff Little Fingers. People who like the original punk bands and are tired of the Warped Tour can find refuge here.
Tiwony, "Viv La Vi"
French creole dancehall from Ethiopia. And really really good, even though I don't understand 2/3 of it. You'll have to Google it - I found it on one obscure legal download site and one seller of French music of all types.
Behemoth, "Evangelion"
Not named after the anime. Behemoth is just a beast in their genre - over-the-top death metal with black metal overtones and a taste for ancient mythology and Egyptian-sounding riffs. I find them a little more accessible than Nile, their kissing cousin both musically and lyrically.

this is fuckin brilliant.
Thank you sir.
This is the music I hear in my head when I’m rolling up on a fascist with my crossbow.
Yeah, this seriously fucking rules.

Gah! Re-upload, please.
I think they mean it when they say “temporarily.” Give it another go – I can access the link right now.
Stupid temporary . . .
