To celebrate the release of the second Bleeding Heart Narrative album, a wide range of artists were asked to take a a track (or tracks) from the album and provide a remix, in whatever style and manner they so wished.

This is the result - Lung Mangled Bear. 16 tracks of beautiful, chaotic, mixes, edits, interpretations and downright bastardisation.

This release is completely FREE, available to download from this site. Please spread the word and feel free to re-post / link /share.

The file is fairly large, incorporating as it does 16 tracks (some of them lengthy), at high-resolution mp3 quality. A lower quality (160kbps) version is available above also, which is a smaller file size, but lower quality audio.

Working with found sounds, multiple instruments, and electronic technology, the music of Brassica suggests a clear love of the musicality of sound itself, and beyond this a sense of how to apply structure and (dis)order to these sounds, in order to produce a compelling and emotional affect.
