Monster Magnet re-imagine album

2014-09-19 by Raul Stanciu STAFF | 11 Comments
This fall, Monster Magnet will release a re-imagined version of their latest record, Last Patrol. The compilation, entitled Milking The Stars, will be out on November 18 and feature four new songs, a few reworked versions of several tunes and two live recordings.

Regarding the album, Wyndorf commented: “This was a happy experiment for me. It’s not a re-mix record by the current definition. It’s more like ‘Last Patrol’ in a “what if?” style alternate reality.”

“What if these songs were recorded in 1968? What would happen if I turned a pretty song into an angry one?” How would adding creepy organs and Mellotrons affect the emotional vibe of a song?” These are just a few of the questions that roll around in my head when I write and record any album but this time I decided to actually answer them with fully fleshed out, recorded and mixed examples.”

“The process actually created new songs. That’s the icing on the cake for me. New sounds, new vocals, different instruments and arrangements make for a weird 1960′s vibe totally apart from Last Patrol which was fun for Phil, Bob, Garrett, mixer Joe Barresi and myself to explore.”

“Finally there’s expanded versions of the songs “Last Patrol” and “Three Kingfishers” as recorded live at the AB club in Belgium, 2014. Both those songs were re-arranged for “maximum rock and psych” before we hit the road last year and feature the debut performance of new Magnet bassist, Chris Kosnik. Personally, I think they beat the original versions. Rock on!”

True, although I'm more curious to listen to the new tracks! This version of Paradise it's less entertaining than the original.

Yeah i made that comment under the assumption that it would be a legitimate 're-imagination'....

But you know what they say about assumptions
