Tongues.<\/p>\n

This is a remix of my poem Speaking with tongues<\/em> and Culture Shack<\/em> by Super_Sigil on ccmixter.org. \u00a0It includes Speck\u2019s Crack the Kobe Galaxia<\/em> and Super Sigil\u2019s merging of samples of my shakuhachi in Kooler Than Kobe<\/em>, my ukulele from Wheels<\/em> \u2013 and some very original vocal impro by panu and ciggi burns. Thanks to all the contributors of samples used by the artists already mentioned above. As always, use decent headphones to appreciate the sub-bass.<\/p>\n

This is dedicated to Kahil (Kahlil) Jureidini in Adelaide, the greatest wordplay wordsmith I\u2019ve ever heard and the original inspiration for the poem which I began last year.<\/p>\n
