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)

(The Chemical Brothers vs. Rammstein)
The use of Rammstein has often led to some excellent mash-ups, and this one, which features an actual Rammstein acapella rather than instrumental, is no exception. The wry wordplay will be lost on German non-speakers (phonetically, "Du has(s)t mich" can mean either "You have me," or "You hate me", as well as being part of the statement in this
tune: "You (have) asked me." - an apt illustration of the northern German sense of humor ;-P), but key and groove are universal, and rock/metal mash-up ace DJ Morgoth has done an impeccable job of matching both, making this mash-up sound like an official remix. Rawk!
Cons:
This is technically a virtually perfect match, but not much of a genre jam, seeing as Rammstein tunes tend to be driven by Chem-like beats anyway. Basically, this sounds like the Rammstein original minus the guitars. It's maybe just a little too perfect (or routine).
Tips:
You've firmly established yourself as one of the top "go-to" DJs when it comes to rock/metal mash-ups, and I've nothing to offer in terms of technical advice. But I prefer your genre-jamming (and sense of humor) in great mash-ups like "You've Got Another Firestarter Comin'" or "Shout ABC". Keep on rockin' in the free world!

A superb blend of genres on this track Morgoth, something you do with particular ease. I've worked with this 'pella myself and its not the easiest. You've done a sterling job and made an older manic, dance classic into dancefloor mosh tune once again.
Cons:
Ermmmmm...............None. Superb buddy , you've got an excellent ear.

(The Killers vs. Tokio Hotel)
I love the rockyness of this tune. The vocals do a lot to soften that rocky edge but fit the instrumental like a glove. I think this is the first Tokio Hotel mash I've heard - I look forward to more....The mix of these two tunes, the synth running through the 'mental and the stunning vocals put me in mind of early Alarm songs. Very nice.
Cons:
Couldn't find a single one - everything just works (as usual with Morgoth)
Tips:
Yeah, like I could give this guy tips......!

(Pain vs. Black Sabbath)
Very good stuff here from DJ Morgoth, he uses the Ozzy vocals perfectly. I'm really not a fan of this genre, but even I had my foot tapping uncontrollably - as will you. This track could have been tailor made (was it?) for your Berlin Bootie Party, as its guaranteed to rock!
Cons:
Classic formula followed here. I would have liked a little bit more creativity, as I have heard in some of your other offerings. Having said that its my own taste - the track is fine without it.
Tips:
Send us more tracks! Your on top of your game, its just a shame I don't live in Berlin, I would definitely come to one of your parties. DJ Morgoth sie schaukeln! (I really hope thats right)

(2Pac vs. Coheed and Cambria)
Morgoth, you have it... simple as that, you have it! I ain't the most knowledged on either 2Pac, nor Coheed & Cambria, but this sounds like one original full on production that has come from the studio itself! Your vocals match your songs perfectly, and while this track won't get as big a following as it deserves (due to not so commonly heard sources) you are going to get some true lovers of this track.
Cons:
Only con I can come up with would be my usual feel of a want for a little more in the mashing factor by introducing some rare but small and 'fitting' bits of the instrumental artists vocals. Yours is great with or without, but I think this could feel more smooth and beneficially intricate with a li'l 2Pac here and there.
Tips:
It ain't really a tip, but it kinda is, cos I know it's something I and probly a fair few others wanna see come from your brilliance, so here it is... Let's try some cheese next! :P

Cons:
None that I can come up with other than ,for my taste, it's just a bit too long.
Tips:
Just do what you have being doing until now: keep producing excellent mashups....
