Similar in format to The Beatles' compilation Love--itself the soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name--talented guitarist/producer John Lippi has put together a series of "blends" in which he segues bits from a particular artist's repertoire in a heady mix that's "far more creative than the random 30 second clips on iTunes," as the New York-based musician himself states. (Full disclosure: Lippi is a friend and musical partner in crime.)
The "blends" are about the length of an average song--aproximately 3 minutes, or so--and feature some very minimal instrumental contributions by Lippi, who simply encourages visitors to his dedicated MySpace page who enjoy the work of these artists, to "go buy the music or see them live." Currently Beck, The Raconteurs and Paul Simon are the first three to get the "blend" treatment.
More, please.
