CRASS & GHOST DOG (UK) - "The Feeding of the 5000" (GHOST DOG's Lockdown Remixes)
This has been out for a year, but will serve as a good introduction to GetMusic...
"Feeding of the 5000" was the 12" EP (more like an album) that kicked off the whole worldwide anarcho-punk scene in 1978, which in turn fed into protest movements around the world...and still does. I bought
it shortly after it came out, and it had a profound effect on my life that will continue to my grave (despite my misgivings about some of their ideas/influences/output over the years).
During the covid lockdowns, I had one of my remixes ("What A Shame (GHOST DOG's Shameless Jungle Mix)") chosen from among 100s of submissions for "Normal Never Was - Revelations", the 40-track CRASS - "Feeding of the 5000" remixes on-line album/double CD, chosen by Penny Rimbaud and Steve Ignorant of Crass themselves, aided by Ben of One Little Independent Records.
However, being that I had so much time on my hands, and Crass had given permission for us to release our own stuff, I didn't just stop at the one track...I remixed the whole album...and this is the result. Most of these tracks made their way onto Crass' Bandcamp and Soundcloud pages before they stopped uploading the bewildering array of new
submissions...they've mostly been re-mastered since then, though (including my version of "What A Shame", which is bassier on this album).
