Proving that the musical universe is indeed cyclical, the third and final installment of The Free Design Redesigned series comes to a full-circle with another assortment of contemporary notables up for the challenge of reinterpreting selections from The Free Design's staggering catalog (available on CD and LP from Light In The Attic).
Witness turntable virtuoso Kid Koala & Beastie Boys/Modest Mouse remixer Dynomite D. transform "An Elegy" into a baroque jazz-infused bomb, deftly cutting the haunting vocals into the moody mix, while Morr Music's Styrofoam & Sarah Shannon (formerly of Velocity Girl) beautifully rework the 1968 classic "I Found Love" into a fuzzed-out summer-feeling anthem. Stones Throw artists Koushik & Dudley Perkins' "Don't Cry Baby" (plus instrumental) brings an even bigger smile to the original with chopped-up break beats, soulful laidback vocals from Perkins, and a taste of The Free Design's original.
As a special bonus, Volume 3 sees three original Free Design gems making their vinyl debut. "To A Black Boy" is an unreleased standout so skillfully manipulated by Grey Album/Gorillaz producer Danger Mouse and DefJux legend Murs on Volume 2. "Don't Cry Baby (Paddy's Reprise)" is a remix exclusive to this edition. Rounding out the EP is a unique slice of early '70s pop culture exposing the jingle writing skills of Chris Dedrick for none other than Chapstick.
