All the people... so many people
The 'leggers of GYBO have followed on from the overwhelming success of the London Booted project with their reworking of Blur's Parklife album, plus a bonus disc's worth of b sides on which they have unleashed their remixing skills, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the classic britpop album, in a project called Parkspliced
Once again the album, 2 discs and two exclusively designed cover design sets, is available for download at http://parkspliced.gybo.org in exchange for a donation to one of three chosen charities; Cancer Research, Amnesty International and Oxfam, or a good cause of the listener's choice.
"Blur: Parkspliced is more than just about the music. It is more than just a remix project, more than mere re-interpretation. This project is the follow-up to the insanely successful The Clash: London Booted project. This endeavor is about freedom, about unity and shared ideas. The artists and fans involved in this project share more than a common love of music; they are a family bound by ideas, inspiring each other and in turn being inspired to create, to think outside the box, to be unfettered by conventional music norms." - RadioQuita, Queen of Bootlegs.
Remixers McSleazy and Loo & Placido, who produce tunes for MTV Mash, have contributed stunning tracks to the album, which nestle alongside such gems as Dunproofin and m3's "Is This a Bootleg?" which expands on the chilled vibe of the original "Is This a Low". Go Home Productions, famed for his Ray of Gob mash up which pitted Madonna against the Sex Pistols, and is also involved with the hugely popular David Bowie mash up contest that the artist is running, has also contributed a track, "Londinium Loves" which combines Blur with Bon Jovi, the Beatles, the Bee Gees and The Kinks in a great sounding track.
The album is a superb example of the talent in the bootleg and mash up scene at the moment, and will no doubt be hugely successful in the wake of the media interest created by DJ DangerMouse's Grey Album, using the artists' talents to raise well deserved funds for charities.
