- Entrailicus vs Mark E Smith #1

Smith on the left, me on the right

While the family are away on holiday and I'm left home waiting for the academic year to draw to a close, I have been spending way too much time fiddling around on the computer. Fortunately, not all of that time has been a complete waste, at least I hope you'll agree with me, as I've cobbled together the following track.

Although more people get to work with Mark E Smith than would be the case of a member of any band other than The Fall, the time comes when you realise that your chances of ever being in the band are fairly limited. Luckily for the computer techno geeks among us, lord Smith has a couple of spoken word albums for us to sample from.

I've been intending to give it a go putting samples and loops to a Smith vocal for ages and have finally completed the first track of what I optimistically hope will become a full album worth of tracks. This first effort is entitled 'Chocolate tourizt findz art muzeum' and features the track 'The CD in your hand' from Mark E Smith's spoken word album 'The post nearly man', along with various royalty free samples from the SONY Loops and samples collection, namely 'Blip: Glitch Electronica', 'Bradley Fish: Unstrung' and 'Cinematix Vol. 1'. Consequently, the only person who could legally make any dosh from this is Mark E Smith. I hope this will become viable because I also invite all of you to remix the bugger and do a better job than I've done.

Download the samples and have a go yourself (link now fixed). If you do a remix, please let me know.

- Entrailicus continues to fob off readers with his remixes

The name of this track is 'Ugly', the name of my remix is 'The Pink Flamingo Mix'. Download it if you dare, put it on your own blog if you feel so inclined:



The mix was born of a frustration with the original (can you remember the artist?) and a love of the vocal on the other sampled track (again, can you guess/remember/identify?).

Please remember that I've not received permission from anyone who owns the original tracks so download it quickly before I get into trouble.

- Entrailicus rediscovers NIN remix

A funny thing happened the other day when I heard an NIN track on the radio. Not that funny, you say? It was strange for me because, while it was as obvious as day that it was NIN, the song sounded strangely familiar and yet somehow unusual.

After sining along to lyrics to a song I thought I'd never heard before, it struck me that I'd actually remixed the track (Only) without ever listening to the original.

My remix was radically different to the original, I'd always assumed, but only 2 or 3 years later have I finally found out how different.

Please take a listen, I really feel that I was able to give Trent's vocals something they've never had before...
