This is the last Mashstix Alternative Show. I like to personally thank G3RST for the amazing job he's done with the show (don't worry he's not leaving the team)
There is some good news with the bad however, as The Radio Stix Show will be back in full swing with a whole new crew... keep your eyes peeled! - Paul Stix
Morgoth is one of the biggest names in the mashup scene. So its no surprise this is an absolute winner. I know on the review team we over use terms like 'this sounds like an original' - but this really does.
The synth track blends with the vocals as well as any studio produced track.
Cons:
My only gripe is its sooo well produced, it could actually be a Depeche Mode track. There isnt a great deal of a genre mix here. But thats a very small thing, for such a good bootleg.
Tips:
FIFA should get goal line technology ! (only joking !)
A very cool tune by one of the best producers around. Morgoth did great mashing two eras together. Gwen Stephani's voice fits very smoothly over the Depeche Mode track and the idea, production and sound quality are great on this one. A worthy DJ Morgoth track indeed.
Cons:
The only con is the a capella itself - it has been used a lot in the last couple of years - but that's the only one I could think of. It did not keep me from enjoying this one a lot.
DJ Morgoth proves, once again, that there's more to Finland than saunas and reindeer pasties. like the bastard love child of Darude and Lordi, Morgoth provides a very danceable rock mashup with flawless precision. I raise my index and little finger aloft to you sir.
Cons:
No, another perfect mash... though I can't wait until the music of the 1990s reaches Finland.
Tips:
Little known facts about Finland:
1. All the street signs there are handcrafted from wicker.
2. The second most commonly spoken language in Finland is Cuban.
3. 1 in 3 Finns have an olympic gold medal in tobogganing.
4. Traditionally when married, Finnish couples will swap christian names, gender roles and clothing.
Linkin Park goes 90's Euro-pop. I remember the days of playing Dr. Alban's 12 inch on the ol' wheels of steel, mixing it to the likes of Haddaway and Snap - {sign} whose were the days! And Morgoth has revived those distance memories with a touch of Linkin Park. Classic - I like it a lot - top mash. It's definately a keeper for me and will be making it's way onto me iPod for further cheesey listening.
Cons:
None really. All on key and timings are great. I like the Dr. Alban vocals thrown in - ties the two tracks together nicely. Linkin Park being one of my fave bands, this mash is right up my street!
Tips:
Not sure you need any tips - not from me anyway. Keep doing what you do - I think you have this mashing business fully understood. Great mash - thanks for helping to fill my iPod! ;o)
