on paul mccartneys last tour, the knighted one dragged along well known bastard pop guru, freelance hellraiser<\/strong>, aka roy kerr, to play tracks out to get the party in swing. these pre-gig sessions ended up with freelance hellraiser creating several exclusive mashups that ripped into the paul mccartney back catalogue with a vengeance, strapping on a groove and letting the beast live in an updated 2005 form. the results were so loved by the creator of the original sources, that they decided to release the end result as an album. <\/div>\n
however to piss off the world of filesharers, twin freaks is a vinyl only release, an idea which completely baffles me, though i guess this is adds an extra layer of kudos for all the vinyl purists, as it’s going to be a bugger to track down as well as not being able to listened to by those without decks. however, a little research has lead me to find out that while there isn’t a record label printed cd copy available, the music is online via music stores like itunes and sonys connect for all your flashy toys. it should be noted, this isn’t the first time that paul has dipped his toes into the murky world of dance music – remember the team up with youth as the fireman<\/strong>? <\/div>\n
i guess it was only a matter of time that he came upon the idea of having mashups of his aural history, thankfully freelance hellraiser has been subtle with his protools cut-n-paste fun, as opposed to just strapping a basic 4\/4 beat behind a sample and milking the hardcore fans for all they are worth. <\/div>\n
you see, curiosity got the better of me, despite not having any of the original tracks, i decided to track the record down. ok, the whole bootleg thing is somewhat past its sell-by-date but i reckon there are some great tracks. sometimes the record sounds like a distant cousin to primal screams screamdelica whereas in other places the fat boy slim party groove rocks the woofers hard, as freelance combines lovely warm instrumentation of the originals with lazy piano riffs, horn filled breaks and lovely bongo heavily stoned groove (‘come me up’<\/em>, and ‘maybe i’m amazed’<\/em>), sometimes it’s full on electro pounding floorfiller (‘rinse the raindrops’<\/em>) to make the tracks sound both current and yet still maintain an old classic rock-n-roll record feel.<\/div>\n
not having any paul m records in the archive i still recogniosed several chunks\/loops such is their presence in the psyche.
\nstart scouring those vinyl racks, before they all end up in the ebayers hands, so head over to the official site : here<\/a>
\nand check a lo-fi rip of the track that was lifted for 12″ release : really love you<\/a>
