Alice - Pogo











I was so impressed by this unique EP by POGO, aka Nick Bertke, when I heard it last week that I knew that I had to share another track with you today. In fact, I've decided to make this whole week Remix Week. Each day will focus on a different style of music remixing.

Bertke uses samples (sound clips) from Alice in Wonderland to create all new songs. About 90% of the sounds you will hear in this track, titled Alice, are from the film. I can't imagine the amount of time it would take to edit something like this. It's unique and sounds great.

The most recognizable sample in this song is a line from Very Good Advice. All four of the tracks can be downloaded for free here.

Vote 2008- Cream of the Cover Crop!

In its own right, it is an excellent dance track, and it also questions the concept of the cover, by sampling the original song, but making it sound so unique in comparision.
