FXDxCXTW+LSFP by Frim Xa Duis vs Chin Xaou Ti Won & Long Search for Pegasus

Some whole-album remixes Frim Xa Duis spat out sometime in 2001 for CXTW's 'Funeral Music for Chin Laou' and Long Search for Pegasus' 'Broken Crosses and Swastikas'. I distinctly remember Dr. Vanderbilt playing these mixes for me at his apartment and that being the one and only time I heard them for years to follow. It would be around 15 years before I heard these mixes again by total happenstance while backing up my archives. I believed they were lost media by that point, as had Dr. Vanderbilt whenever they came up in conversation. Unfortunately, I didn't quite catch the file names and they became semi-lost media for close to another 10 years. Chanced across them again a few months back, and decided to release them lest they become lost media for the third time. As a nice little surprise, turns out there were two mixes of 'Funeral Music' when all these years I thought there was only one.

These mixes still hold up. They're simple and rather silly, relying on song stacking, and speed and directional manipulation for the most part, but they're cobbled together in a way that works. And considering both of these LPs have been out of print for a very long time now (20+ years), these mixes can almost be considered the de facto versions of these LPs especially since I don't see myself ever rereleasing either LP. Although for those curious, you can find the EP version of 'Funeral Music' at https://fx2recordings.bandcamp.com/album/funeral-music and some of 'Broken Crosses' can be found on '45 Broken Birds' at https://tejeskeksz.bandcamp.com/album/45-broken-birds.

Interesting side note is that the 'Broken Crosses' mix is using an early version of the album that I didn't think was released into the wild, even among friends, apparent by the inclusion of the Malawi mix of 'Twinkle All Ye Nightlit Stars'.
