Brian Joseph Davis' Greatest Hit (MP3s)

For his latest audio project Greatest Hit, Brian Joseph Davis (the artist behind Ten Albums Burned, Then Played and Voice Over) chose six albums by different artists, then layered all the tracks to turn each album into a single "song." The artists who received the Greatest Hit treatment were Whitney Houston, Kenny G (the real one), The Carpenters, The Police, The Rolling Stones and Metallica.

Here are three such albums in manageable, song-length bites:
 

I'm Every Song (Whitney Houston's The Ballads): MP3

All You Get From Love is 22 Love Songs (The Carpenters' 1968-1983) MP3

My Little Danish Friend (Metallica's Master of Puppets) MP3

Didn't Negativeland do this sort of thing years ago? If you go down to Coney Island on a hot July day, you can get a similar aural effect from of all the boomboxes blaring simultaneously.

I did a similar experiment a few years ago for the BunnyBrains:

and another for my older band Invaders From Sears in 1987 (layering 8 tracks)

(ask me and I'll post it)

I think everyone has done this sort of thing years ago. I know I have. But who cares, this sounds great, I'm impressed.
