VARIOUS - THE FREE DESIGN
THE NOW SOUND REDESIGNED (LIGHT IN THE ATTIC)
The Now Sound Redesigned contains 13 radical reinterpretations for the club, home, or hi-fi. Highlights include Stones Throw's official beat conductor Madlib, who turns "Where Do I Go" into an Afro-funk celebration.
Belle & Sebastian's Chris Geddes envisions "2002-A Hit Song" as a four-on-the floor stomper and Grey Album mastermind Danger Mouse & DefJux legend Murs make their debut collaboration with a wicked twist on the unreleased Free Design track "To A Black Boy".
Caribou (formerly Manitoba) delivers an 8-minute free jazz psych opus while the Super Furry Animals and Stereolab & the High Llamas celebrate their love of the group with their trademark sound.
Previously unreleased works include exclusive cuts from turntable virtuoso Kid Koala with Beastie Boys/Modest Mouse remixer Dynomite D., Morr Music's Styrofoam with Sarah Shannon (formerly of Velocity Girl), and Stones Throw artists Koushik & Dudley Perkins.
Far from being another boring tribute piece, Redesigned's musical testimonials speak for themselves.
Everyone involved has sought something deeper than your average remix; obvious testaments to The Free Design's unique brand of feel good pop-psych.
The CD features hand-drawn illustrations/artwork and comes housed in a special die-cut Digipak that maintains the high standard of quality that music lovers have come to expect from Light In The Attic.
