Seventies Mutation

None of the original artists playing none of your favorite songs!

Various Artists - Seventies Mutation
A satirical take on pop and rock legends of the much maligned decade

WFMU says: " Well, if you enjoyed that mutant version of "Boys of Summer" that Puff Tube put out years ago, this is for you. French performance freak Costes does Lennon's "I Found Out", and you also get completely messed up versions of "Black Magic Woman" (by Xpr.xr), "Have You Never Been Mellow" (Phigg-Newtons), "She's Always a Woman" (Slippery Fingers), "Le Freak" (His Hemmorhoids Are Gone) and many more gems not only covered but deconstructed into piles of smoldering electronic goo."

Track 11 appeared on  Valentine's Day show (playlist, download, stream, etc.) of Busy Doing Nothing on WFMU's Give The Drummer Radio.
