On Cool Under Heat, for instance, the guitar tabs that I've seen give the changes as B-E-F# -- but I went with the A-D-E trifecta, which (IMO) is brighter and suits the overall vibe of the song better. This sets up the contrast between the B-Em and B-A sections.

For Three Card Trick, I thought it important to keep the choppy reggae vibe -- I remember hearing some ska band doing it (their name escapes me at the moment) -- and they totally eliminated it, which didn't sound quite right to these ears.

I particularly enjoyed your remixes of Life Is Wild and We Are The Clash -- they turn both of those songs inside out! And I'd say that your version of Play To Win gives that track a coherence that's not quite apparent from its original recorded incarnation...if ever an album lent itself to such treatment, CTC is it. :mrgreen:
:mrgreen:
Yep that solid ska/choppy reggae feel works well with the track. I would love to hear a full acoustic version of the entire album.

Top work boys. We might get a triple album CtC at this rate.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Cheers, why not make it a quadruple package. I'm sure I could reverse some of my dub mixes and get some local children to sing a cover. ;)

Okay. Not enough of the original music and/or lyrics for me, I think.

Shades of Combat Rock, too... :twitch:

You wanna make a mix ....feel free. ;) :approve:

That was the whole idea of that track "We Are The Clash". I was looking for the interview where Strummer says The Clash could exist without any of the original members because The Clash were an idea not a band. It's on that Wolfgang's site but as you have to pay to join now I gave it a miss.

*Idly considers finding audio of Joe, Paul, Vince, Pete, and Nick each saying "the Clash", and playing around with that..* :shifty:

Heh, you might hear that in a supermarket or while being put on hold. Turd polishing remains an elusive art. ;)
