(closing his eyes tight in a defensive posture) Well, I think it's pretty good, but then, I am a Metallica fan. (ducking rotten vegetables) DJ Spooky has done two remixes of the Metallica classic "For Whom The Bell Tolls." One version appears on the Spawn soundtrack (which also has Metallica's Kirk Hammett jamming over Orbital's "Satan") and the other appears on Metallica's "The Memory Remains" single. They are both pretty twisted, very dubby and spacey, and if any vocals appear, they are from the chorus of the song. Unless you're a collector, I wouldn't say you needed both, and you're better off getting the Spawn soundtrack version. The other Metallimixes of potential interest to this list are Moby's remix of "Until It Sleeps" (blinding!), Download's remix of "Hero Of The Day" (oddly disappointing, about three minutes of interesting noises followed by the original song pretty much in its entirety with a few buzzes thrown in), and KMFDM's remix of "King Nothing" (decent if you like KMFDM, nothing spectacular). This makes it much easier to connect the metal world and the IDM world in any "Six Degrees Of..." game you might want to play (although Trent Reznor's remix of Megadeth's "Symphony Of Destruction" pretty much cemented that link already). -- Adam J Weitzman "Compared with Michael [Jordan], NewsEdge Corporation death and taxes are variables." http://www.newsedge.com - Bob Ryan, The Boston Globe http://www.newspage.com
