Crass Normal - Never Was III 12" Vinyl Single Purple 2020

Track 1 Roxy (Unf*ck the World - Steve Aoki Remix)
Track 2 Asylum (Mikado Koko Remix)

As part of their ambitious 'The Feeding of the Five Thousand Remix Project', punk pioneers Crass are returning with another single featuring remixes by legendary producer Steve Aoki and Japanese outsider musician Mikado Koko. Late last year Crass took the step of making the original separate track stems of their seminal debut album 'The Feeding of the Five Thousand' available as a free download. With a call to take the original sixteen track recording in its pre-mix state, the intent was for people to create their own remixes and interpretations and breathe fresh life and ideas into this revolutionary music. In this latest release, the third in the series, 'Banned From The Roxy' is given a dirty, bass-heavy and anthemic turnaround by two-time Grammy nominated Aoki with 'Roxy (Unf*ck the World Steve Aoki Remix)', one that pushes the crucial original lyrics to the front but gleefully plays with the fast paced, maniacal beat. 'Asylum (Mikado Koko Remix)' preserves the antireligious spoken word piece with a subtle but no less impactful twist. Both serve to inject even more intensity to already powerful tracks and are crystal clear reminders of why Crass were so important and remain so vital today.
