Masters of the Scene

I think that this album is the answer to the question that less than 1% of the population are asking: What would it sound like if various noise/psychedelic bands covered their favorite ABBA songs?!?! Well, whether you’ve asked it or not, it’s available. The fine folks at Nihilist Records have assembled an all-star noise/psychedelic team to cover and re-cover the songs of ABBA.

To start off with, we’ve got Japanese noise jokester, Kazumoto Endo with his incredibly brutal, but strangely catchy rendition of Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight). Next up are perenial of mirror eye favorites, Cotton Casino and Kawabata Makoto of the Acid Mothers Temple “Soul Collective” with their spacey version of Eagle. And last but not least we’ve got Chicago based psychedelic superstar Plastic Crimewave Sound and their hard driving cover of Watch Out.

And just because I’m a nice guy, I’ve also decided to include the original versions of these songs.

- Eagle
- Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)
- Watch Out

    That ‘Gimme Gimme’ cover was rough to listen to!! I liked the ‘Eagle’ cover mucho! It sounds like your listening to it from the past through a radio-sound time machine! You can’t beat the originals though!
