[UpFree 32] Ergo Phizmiz - Music For The Jilted Generation

Ergo Phizmiz - Music For The Jilted Generation
Label: Upitup Records
Catalog#: UpFree32
Format: File, MP3, Album
Country: Italy
Released: May 2010
Genre: Electronic
Style:

From 2003 until today, Ergo Phizmiz has been covering epic works of popular music of such artists as Aphex Twin, The Velvet Underground, Radiohead, Kylie Minogue, Snap!, Eiffel 65 – just to name a few. The ingenious results have been published here and there on the web, but the Phiz felt it was about time to release all his reinterpretations as a collection on one label.

The covers are a big portion of my work - I want them to have "a home", and I want them to reach an audience. [...] Add to that the fact that, in 2003 when I first put out a CDr of the Aphex Twin covers, the whole Aphex Twin community wanted to run me off the internet with pitchforks! So we can have fun pissing off IDM fanboys again. Ah the good old days.

To celebrate the release of his entire catalogue of cover versions, Ergo once again kicked into action and recorded an additional cover album by himself in one day:

I want to cover something that's a real "sacred cow". Do you know the album "Music For the Jilted Generation" by The Prodigy? In the UK it kind of defined a generation, early 90s... he wrote in an email couple of weeks ago. The very next day he sent us the link to download this incredibly great acoustic version of the Prodigy's legendary electronic dance album...

Upitup is honored to present you Ergo Phizmiz, Music For the Jilted Generation alongside the collection of all cover versions from his projects "Ergo Phizmiz & his Orchestra", "The Midnight Florits", and "Rock'N'Roll Machine".

Ego Twister is happy to présent you a new collaborative compilation offered for free download. This project, directly out from the fertile minds of the UpItUp net label owners, will give you the opportunity to discover three of the best tracks out from the catalogue of six netlabels which artistic affininities more are obvious !

If you are following Ego Twister releases, chances are great that you already know about the three tracks we choosed to figure on this compilation, but we stringly invite you to visit the other participant labels websites (UpItUp, Proot, WM recordings, Peppermill, Cock Rock Disco),  and to discover their artists.

Here are a few words from Tracky Birthday, one of the owner and artist of UpItUp records :

« Over the last decade, the free music scene has brought out numerous big names. Thanks to them the fact that there's an endless amount of incredibly "good" music available for free on the internet has become obvious to everybody. But of course there's also an even greater amount of incredibly shite music out there.

The good stuff isn't always easiest to find, and most users don't have time to browse through every artist's discography in order to discover the gems among their droppings. As the downfall of MySpace continues curatorship is regaining importance. Instead of plowing through songs on MySpace or Soundcloud today's users prefer sharing YouTube videos on Facebook. They just seem more interested in selected content. Netlabels experience some kind of Indian summer, receiving a lot of attention as if they were all new. They retrieve relevance as a source for presenting the hot. Berlin held a Netaudio Festival last year. New York's WFMU has created the Free Music Archive, "a social music website built around a curated library of free, legal audio." Fuck me sideways, the scene is a scene again!

That's why six of the most original netlabels have teamed up for one release – each label presenting three of their favorite tracks from their own catalog – to celebrate the idea of free music, and to simply bring you the shit de la shit!

Up it up, Ego Twister, Peppermill, Proot, Cock Rock Disco, and WM Recordings share similar backgrounds and philosophies, and they are proud to present their "Greatest it". You might happen to know all of the 18 smash hits but if you don't you better catch up, Mr. caveman. This might indeed be the flyest compilation on the internet.

The labels' idea was also to share audiences by introducing / pointing out each other. It's understood that it's ridiculously difficult choosing your 3 favorite tracks from a whole catalog so consider this the tip of the iceberg.

We love giving away our music because we believe the best things in life should be free – like the air you breathe or sunlight or sex (ideally). Please share this release with your friends or blog about it. »

Tracky Birthday

Cheers,
yan
