Mash-ups
are usually associated with underground record shops, bootleg
white-labels and mixtapes changing hands between those in
the know.
Now, EMI has decided to change all of that and after a clearance
process of biblical proportions, bring these explosions of
creativity, and massive cut-up tracks to the masses - legally.
This is the first fully legal mash-up album of it's kind,
and features amongst others:
Madonna vs A Taste Of Honey, Blondie
vs The Doors, David Bowie vs Liberty X,
Malcolm McLaren vs Franz Ferdinand, and
Duran Duran vs Kelis all
battling it out.

Music Week-Tastemaker Tips: Go Home Productions / MASHED (EMI) This man's talent beggars belief.
He is unquestionably the king of mash-ups and the emperor
of bastard pop
and this album will take the genre to a new level.
It's the record Richard X should have made but never did,
but the results are even more dazzling.

Update Review: COMPILATION OF THE WEEK VARIOUS
ARTISTS: MASHED (EMI) The
Mash-Up craze really got hold of clubbers quite a few years
back, aided by XFM’s “The Remix” show and Rough
Trade’s “Bastard Pop” section. Well now EMI
have contacted the people involved, and are set to release
14 cuts all above board, some have already been hits, but
most on this Mark Vidler comp, are seeing the light of day
legally for the very first time.
From the opening “Franz Buffalo” which marries Malcolm
Mclaren with Franz Ferdinand, you know that “Mashed”
is gonna be a fun packed ride. Other highlights include “David
X” -David Bowie Vs Liberty X, “Passenger Fever”
- Peggy Lee Vs Iggy Pop, “Can’t Get Blue Monday
Out Of My Head” - Kylie Minogue Vs New Order, “Rapture
Riders” - Blondie Vs The Doors & “Sing Back
Connection” - Elastica Vs Moloko.
“Mashed” is the most essential compilation release
in a long while, let’s hope it’s the first of many,
coz there’s loads of these bastardo offsprings out there,
and they deserve to be heard. DEAN
