Hey Mr. Clow..
The illegal art collective have a comp of Christmas song bastardizations
floating around at there. This is the same crew that put out the notorious
deconstructing beck album that seeland records was carried. It's cutnpaste
madness with various versions of the same Christmas songs sung by various
crooners (Nat King Cole, Bing Cosby, The King) combined collage style.. they
are Xmas themed although I must admit the tracks I heard from the comp
didn't even approach 'It's a novelty track that is cute the first time, but
I will get sick of by the end of the first listen' status.. the comp is
noteworthy for it's civil disobedience (read: lawsuit magnet) if nothing
else.
