Today I’ll be taking a look at the new Girl Talk album “All Day.” And one thing’s for sure, the mash-up king/ biomedical research engineer Gregg Gillis is back! This is Gregg’s fifth album, and definitely one of his finest.
The album contains 12 songs (or just one long track), which samples almost 400 artists. Check out Wikipedia to see if he added any of your favourites into the mix. The tracks have everything from Van Halen and Flock of Seagulls to 50 cent and Michael Jackson.
I’m not entirely into the mash-up/remix type music but this is definitely an exception. It’s the kind of album that will blow you away the first time you listen to it and leave you wanting more. You might even ask yourself “Did Prince and Busta Ryhmes just make love in my ear?”, and the answer is yes… yes they did.
His music has been labeled by many as controversial, because of American laws surrounding copyright infringement. He feels that there is nothing wrong with mashing-up existing music to make it something completely dissimilar. Maybe that's why the label he's on is called ILLEGAL ART? Gregg has even been featured in Brett Gaylor’s “R!P- A remix manifesto” documentary (based on contemporary issues surrounding copyright infringement).
If you didn’t get a chance to check out Girl Talk on campus this year I highly recommend you give his free album “All Day” a listen… you won’t be disappointed. It's a great album to listen to at the gym, in your house, and on the dancefloor. You can download the album as a full continuous song, or broken up into 12 tracks. You might also need WinRAR to open the file (and gain access to a folder full of the mp3’s and album art).
