Black Dog & Black Sifichi, The - Genetically Modified - Remix Album

The Black Dog (now just one man plus spoken word vocalist Black Sifichi) gets the remix treatment on GENETICALLY MODIFIED. While Jimmy Cauty's version of "Invisible Things" still hems to The Black Dog's penchant for all things Egyptian, Technova takes "Interview" into deep electo-funk. A1 People take "Dogbite" into Middle Eastern noir, while C-PIJ goes all free-jazz on it. The Black Dog's own mixes of "Unsavoury Products" and "Voodoo" features the angular melodies that we've come to love. And after a long absence, CJ Bolland takes the joke of "Mental Health Hotline" and sets it to a driving beat, somehow making it funnier. Same goes for the Beloved's take of "Wishing Well." On a different note, Mescalito goes jazzy downtempo, while Laub adds their own vocals, aiming for some abstract ambience. But the bonus material at the end -- the fake advertisements -- are a testament to a man, while influential, refuses to take himself too seriously.
