The experimental duo, which strongly supports creative inclusion and a frequent band member turnover, turned into a 20 person band for the purpose of “We Are Ready.” No man out. No instrument left behind. The track was recorded completely live (no sampling), and touches upon 38 different songs often featuring well over 10 instruments simultaneously, including a small choir of voices.
The 38 songs are: Aphex Twin “Jynweythek Ylow” • Blur “Song 2″ • Britney Spears “Toxic” • Broken Social Scene “Pacific Theme” • Claude Debussy “Clair de Lune” • Deerhunter “Desire Lines” • DMX “What’s My Name” • Dr. Dre “Kush” & “What’s the Difference” • DJ Shadow “Building Steam With a Grain of Salt” • Fabolous “Breathe” • Flying Lotus “Massage Situation” • Franz Schubert “Der Doppelganger” • Fugees “Ready or Not” • Girl Talk “Hold Up” • Holy Other “Touch” • Hot Chip “Ready for the Floor” • Joanna Newsom “Peach Plum Pear” • Julee Cruise “Falling” • King Harvest “Dancing in the Moonlight” • Lady GaGa “Telephone” • Lee Erwin “Thief of Baghdad” • Ludacris “Move” • Massive Attack “Teardrop” • Mount Kimbie “Maybes” • Nas “Represent” • Otis Redding “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” • P. Diddy “Bad Boys For Life” • Ratatat “Seventeen Years” • RJD2 “1976″ • The Bloody Beetroots “Butter” • TV on the Radio “Staring at the Sun (EP Version)” • White Stripes “Seven Nation Army” • Yasunori Mitsuda “Wind Scene”
At its debut at Manhattan’s Lower East Side’s Anthology Film Archives, early last March, the song and video accompaniment received critical acclaim. For now I'm eagerly awaiting their next masterpiece...
