Magic Junk Ghosts
Magic Junk mad scientist Mark Sahm might be on to something here! A few weeks ago, Mark re-considered and re-compiled Nine Inch Nails’ instrumental record Ghosts I-IV into two separate soundtracks to an imaginary movie (best you let him explain it to you). What he did — and it’s brilliant — is spend enough time with it to re-imagine the music as something else. The album, as delivered, is a four-volume set of nine instrumental tracks each. Mark has taken those 36 tracks and created a 17-song playlist and a 19-song playlist and made them cohesive in a different way. This is all the cool in the world.
If you bought the record, you should give Sahm’s soundtracks a spin. If you didn’t, you can download it legally for $5. That’s 36 songs for $5. It’s really a bargain at twice the price. Check it out and listen to Trent’s sequence and then give Sahm’s sequences a whirl. I’m enjoying this album in a whole new way today.
