Enter You

BRYAN ADAMS - RUN TO YOU / METALLICA - ENTER SANDMAN

Let's imagine that James Hetfield actually grew up in Canada instead of California. Imagine he was brought up by a working class lumberjack family and got about in denim and checkered flannel. This Canadian Hetfield's first real six -string wasn't a Gibson Flying V but rather a Strat. Finally, imagine that instead of meeting Lars Ulrich and Bob Rock on his way to super stardom he actually met Jim Vallance and Bob Clearmountain.

Got all that? Right, here's what it would have sounded like...

Coming Soon - 9 Countries

9 Countries is a mashup / sound-collage / ambient / documentary album using nothing but the archive of field recordings Tom made throughout 2005/06 whilst on a 15 month overland journey through Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Tibet, India and Greece. Presently in production, 9 Countries is due for release in 2009.





LEGAL STUFF

These not-for-profit works (mashups, bootlegs, bastard-pop tracks etc) were created as non-substitutable, non-commercial derivatives of recognised recorded works. They do not compete with the market for the original material, nor do they undermine, defame or otherwise harm the original artists. Contrarily they promote each artist's commercial work by further validating their iconic status in popular culture.

And they're kinda funny...
