Mash-ups are a relatively new genre where two or more songs are mixed into one. In it’s simplest form, the acapella version of one song is played over the instrumental track of another. As the techniques have matured, more adventurous compositions are being created and the scene continues to grow.

I don’t know enough about the mash-up scene to give an informed opinion about the albums’ modest claim.

Highlights include: Sweet Home Country Grammar (Lynyrd Skynyrd / Nelly), “It Takes Two to Kiss” (Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock / Prince), “Benny got Back” (Benny Benassi / Sir Mix-A-Lot), “No One Takes Your Freedom” (George Michael / the Beatles), and “The Immigrant Check” (Led Zeppelin / Beastie Boys).

Registered users can sample the album through in the album of the week section. You can also hear samples through Juno Records.

Solid (B) Well executed, but the novelty fades quickly
