M2's "War Of Sound" Album Reconstructed

[garote]

I promised Zog I would create alternate mixes of these that didn't have voice samples littering the soundscape like turds in a park. I cut almost all of them out, but couldn't resist adding a few selections of my own, for additional flavor. If you can guess the two films I borrowed from, then A Winner Is You.

I completed these over the weekend but forgot to post them. Enjoy! And thanks for the originals, Zoggo.

01: The Cry Of Morgoth (Cold Version)
02: Turbulent Sound (Second Verse, Worse Than The First Version)
03: Discord (War of Sound) (Back Off Baby Mix)
04: The Music Seized (Robot Edit)
05: The Scourges Of Fire (Tinnitus? No Thanks! Edit)
06: Thus Began Also (Experimental Mix)
07: In Ages Forgotten (Preacherless Edit)

Thank you! I have played the first three more times than I've listened to the original CD. Can't wait to hear the rest.

Off topic (OH GNO!) but I linked someone to your vegan manifesto. It explains a thing or two.

About this music, what is it a remix of again?

I looked back through my drafts/to-dos and realized I hadn't let you know what I thought of specific tracks! Honestly, they end up in my working playlist fairly regularly, especially when I'm taking things apart or putting things together.

Discord's my favorite track, hands down. The wailing vocal is so warm, then the oud (?) and drum track wake up... Just WONDERFUL stuff, full of head-nodding goodness.

The Music Seized is my 2nd favorite, probably because it feels like the opposite of Discord. This is a scary and vigilance-provoking track. I mean that in a good way. It might be because I thought it'd be cool to turn down the lights, put on a couple of scenes of Oldboy, turn down the volume on the t.v. and watch with the music on my headphones turned up...


Thanks for sharing your mixes. I always like hearing new stuff.
