SPIRIT OF APOLLO REVIEW
I get my hands on this release and the breath leaves my lungs. There is so much to take in at once. I have been waiting for this release ever since I heard the Felix Cartal remix of N.A.S.A Music. In order to give this album justice you have to listen to it from beginning to end in one sitting (with headphones on).
There I was, lying in my bed in the dark with my eyes closed while David Byrne crooned around various rappers who I will not pretend to know anything about. The leaked tracks gave way to hype for tracks supported by M.I.A, Santogold, Lykke Li, Karren O and Spank Rock.
N.A.S.A - Whatchadoin? Feat. Spank Rock, M.I.A., Santogold & Nick Zinner
The rest of the album proved to be just as exciting with cameos from Del, Tom Waits and Cool Kids. The end result is something close to Night Ripper but Itunes friendly. The album is total stoner pop and it sounds like Urban Outfitters funded the whole operation yet don't let the catchiness/mass consumer appeal turn you off (if you're that kind of person) this album is well worth buying.
N.A.S.A - Strange Enough Feat. Karen O', Ol' Dirty Bastard & Fatlip
