As part of the Sixty Second Song Contest (deadline is Feb 23rd, submit one or two!), I've received a number of sixty second remix reductions of full LPs. So here you have it, ten albums in ten minutes:
Jerod Freitag - Brian Wilson's Smile | Lee Rosevere - Nirvana's Nevermind
Rick McNamara - The Conet Project | Phoneyfresh - Boston's Boston
Adnoisium - Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells | John Carlton - Hair Soundtrack
Matt Keeley - The Residents' Commercial Album
Rick McNamara - The Mothers' We're Only In it For the Money
John Carlton - Jesus Christ Superstar | Oswald Wang - The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour
UPDATE: Here are Ten More Albums in Ten Minutes.
After the deadline on February 23rd, I'll be picking my twenty favorite sixty second song submissions and then let listeners vote on the winner, who will get a WFMU Messenger Bag full of records and swag. And there will be a few runner-up prizes as well.
That Wang one sounds remarkably similar to Rick White's various Elevator megamixes...

Man, this contest is over! Give the Nevermind On 45 guy the 10,000 dollars!

While I pretty much agree with the Reverend, I gotta give props to the Beatles dude, too. If the Fab4 had just released that, it would have been as revered as the Sgt.

Agreed. Nevermind on 45 is stealing this show!

The more interesting pieces here had the best material to begin with. Personally I liked Matt Keeley's mash-up of The Residents the best, as all those little sounds fit together really well. Some of the others, although clever, seem a bit "trip down memory lane" referential with their bits and pieces. At least Lee Rosevere had a bit of originality with her/his piece. I respect Rick McNamara's "Conet Project" piece for the idea, though.

The Mothers was great. I gotta play my old Zappa albums more often.
