Alabama 3 - Intervention (The Futech Mixes) - Review

February 24, 2007

Alabama 3 (A3) Intervention - The Futech MixesOkay, anybody who knows my taste in music (or lack thereof) knows that I tend to collect remixes of Alabama 3 music like a dark shirt collects cat hair.

Naturally, the quality of these mixes tend to vary from “Hey, that’s pretty good!” to “Just how loaded were they?”, but some of the consistently best remixes have come from a denizen of the Unofficial Alabama 3 Forum named Futech.

While most of us A3 fans are anxiously awaiting the new studio album, due out someday fairly soon with any luck, Futech has put together 8 of his best remixes into an album, which he’s titled “Intervention”. He’s even done up cover art.

While this is far from official (and far from authorized, probably), there is some outstanding stuff here.

You can find it all right here, as either individual tracks or a whole album download. All in sweet pretty DRM-free MP3s.

Enjoy!

New Alabama 3 Album and Tour Alabama 3, the “music industry’s best kept secret”, has just announced the dates for their new tour, in support of their soon-to-be-released new album, “Outlaw". w00t!  A new album, and a new tour!  Unfortunately, the tour isn’t coming within 5,000 miles of me, but hey, I can still enjoy it vicariously… As always, you can find more details about this, like all things Alabama 3, at Free A3 - The unofficial Alabama 3 forum. Pictured: Larry Love (left) and The Very Reverend Dr. D.Wayne Love (right) -----...


Alabama 3 - Hits and Exit Wounds Let's face it -- "Greatest Hits" albums from bands you like tend to suck. It's all stuff you've heard before, out of the context in which you're used to hearing it. In fact, when I first heard that Alabama 3 was releasing a "Greatest Hits" album, I was more than a little bit snarky about the whole thing over at Free A3. However, being the fanboy I so obviously am, I still had to get it. And frankly, I ended up a bit surprised. Yes, I've heard it all before, even the "uncollected" bits like "SKA'D for Live", which they did with Orbital for the movie SW9 (and of which I am very fond). But still, listening to it,...


Alabama 3 - Outlaw Early Review"There’s a train a-coming..." It looks like things are ramping up for the imminent release of the new Alabama 3 ("A3" in the US) album, “Outlaw”.  An early review is available here... "The latest offering is simply called “Outlaw”. Once again it features wit as sharp as a needle. Once again it’s built around a melange of country, bluegrass, the blues and home-grown techno. However, where previous outings occasionally found the disparate elements engaged in a stylistic tug of war, this set sounds completely natural. No longer a case of welding together opposites in a perverse game of Push The Parameters, but simply an exercise in common ground. These are sounds that emerged from the (under)ground up. Decades apart perhaps,...


Alabama 3 - 12 Label Free Steps Not to be outdone by the likes of NIN or Radiohead, Alabama 3 has launched an ambitious 12-month plan to put out a new album. Produced totally without labels, and totally with the fans. Each and every month for the next yer, the Boys from Brixton are putting up 3 new songs on their web site. Fans get to vote on each song, and afterwords they get to download all three songs -- which they are free to remix and send back to the band At the end of the year, the 12 most popular songs (as chosen by the fans) will make a new album -- and the fans who voted will be invited to a 12 hour...


Alabama 3 - Katrina Relief AppealBrothers and Sisters, I've been remiss in mentioning that my favorite band, the UK's Alabama 3, has up an MP3 of a new song, "Trying to get to Heaven (Before They Close the Door)" -- it's available free, but only if you donate to one of the various Hurricane Katrina charity funds (you're on the honor system, but you don't wanna piss off the Rev. D. Wayne.) The back story is that after they got the news about Katrina, they headed into the studio and cut this track especially for this purpose (which is more than some folks over here were doing at the time -- not bad for a club band from Brixton.) They selected "Trying to get to...
