New Dead Science (Feat. Craig Wedren) - "Make Mine Marvel (Craig Dub Plate Mix)"
I know what you read that as and no, this is not a Craig Wedren Remixes TV On The Radio post. The Dead Science are a Seattle-based avant rock trio, set to put out an LP based strictly on obscure comic book and Wu-Tang Clan references, which is a thing avant rock trios do. They'll probably remind you more of Xiu Xiu than Wu-Tang Forever, but the Dead Science are dead serious about this Wu-Tang thing. "Make Mine Marvel," a track from their forthcoming Villanaire LP, is full of straight up rips of verses from Forever's "Triumph." The version we're focusing on, though, is the Craig Dub Plate Mix, so named for the helping hand of Shudder master Craig Wedren, spiking the beats and rearranging things to give 'em a full on eerie intonation. Singer Sam Mickens is definitely from the Jamie Stewart school of singing, but when you hear him flip up into head voice while things get noisy and knotty behind him, it's not hard to see why someone like Mr. Wedren would be drawn to it.

So many tired schticks going on here simultaneously. Cannot. Compute.
This is like "Now That's What I Call Affected Art-Rock!"
Score = -1
This is a great band, though a shitty concept for a record. Their first album, Submariner was amazing.

Vakashi Sensei returns with an explosive instrumental lp "The Science of Voodoo in a time of Dead Economics." While away training, discovering new jutsus, Vakashi Sensei fused the scrolls of the Seattle based band, "Dead Science", epic EP entitled "Crepescule" and some of the lost demos from Phillys own "Voodoo Economics". The intense training inspired the shinobi from the Village of the Hidden Drum to create the manual known as "The Science of Voodoo in a Time of Dead Economics". After you study this 25 chapter Hidden Drum manual you will learn of the basic deadly technics of Vakashi Sensei. Once you embrace this jutsu your chakra will increase.
