In this episode: ECC of the past. Master tapes of early Evolution Control Committee music burst open wide, revealing numerous songs that haven't been heard in a while, or ever: The ECC's very early tape cut-up Heartbroken Hotel, The IGA Giant Pineapple Party, MelloDeath's Been Caught Stealing, The Acid Family, a newer track combining 30-odd version of California Dreaming, and much more. Also including some original sample source tracks, such as the Sammy Davis Jr. track that provided the music for I Want A Cookie. Peppered with news headlines from TradeMark and Frilly.

MelloDeath - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Saturday, 17 October 2009 12:35
We got a request from "a budding filmmaker in the Middle East" to use a bit from our early-90's proto-Richard-Cheese side project MelloDeath. The song: a haunting version of Nirvana's swan song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit". We intend to rerelease the entire MelloDeath album at some point, but until then, here's an MP3 of that track, straight from the DAT master.

Swopepusha
Friday, 09 October 2009 10:13
Mr. Fab (RIAA / Bootie LA) pulled one out from the past:
Mr Fab from mashup project RIAA/LA Bootie crew here. Was wondering what was the source material for PooPoo Varmint's "Swopepusha"? Just heard a new song called "Baby" by a group called the Phenomenal Handclap Band and the ending sounds like the loop used on "Swopepusha."
I downloaded "Swopepusha" off Napster musta been 10 years ago and played it a hundred times, at least. So so great. So I recognized it right away in "Baby."
Appreciations on the props, and now to tell some stories about the background of our song:
Okay, sources revealed: Putney Swope, an awesome 1969 movie is it. It appears the soundtrack music is by Charley Cuva, and although a soundtrack album was not released at the time of the movie, an after-the-fact soundtrack was made later (and the LP of that would make a great birthday present for me... ahem). The music's from a commercial in the movie for Go Lucky Airlines; that soundtrack webpage includes a 45-second preview of the music that ECC sampled. Also check this video's music track (skip to 1:02 if you're impatient) and you'll recognize the theme in a different song.
The Swopepusha / Swopepusher track was actually the second track by Poopoo Varmint, a collaboration of The ECC / DJ Pantshead with T!x Eon. Now that you know the source material you can decode the title: Swopepusha = Putney Swope + Squarepusher, although no actual Squarepusher was sampled in the track. Since Poopoo Varmint's first collaboration, After All, got some good play & attention by appearing on etoy's TOYWAR.lullabies compilation, I figured Swopepusha (a much stronger track, in my opinion) would do well. Alas, it didn't end up finding a home, except on The ECC's webpage (and Napster).
Last year I picked open the track's Acid files, hoping to re-render it to something better than the 128kbps MP3 version (no .WAV saved? duh) but version 2 stalled and I didn't quite make it through. After Mr. Fab's email I took another stab and ended up with the updated version 3 below. Somewhat better fidelity, although it's the same arrangement as the original.
As with any art you revisit from 9 years in the past, there's a lot I'd do differently now... but for now, at least here's a version you can hear a little better.
