<< But why does it say 'written, arranged and produced by the Metal Fingered
Villain' but 'mixed and mastered by King Geedorah'? >>
I assume he is channelling different aspects of his personality. Either that,
or it's just cheeky fun. Probably a bit of both.
<< Are any of these samples 'used by permission'? >>
The Godzilla stuff? I think 'Godzilla' is public domain, which is why there
are many cheap vhs tapes around of them. I know Japanese copyrights (if there
are any) are honored in the West. Same reasoning behind Hong Kong being able
tyo bootleg American movies methinks.
<< Why has he changed 'Ghidra' (which he's used
before) to 'Geedorah'? Copyright issues? >>
We discussed this already. I don't think copyright has anything to do with
it... I think it has to do with the way it sounds when dubbed. He's Ghidra on
MIC and the new X-RAY CD.
<< I hate the carelessness of cutting tracks off abruptly without there being
any sign of a segue into another track. >>
I don't think it's careless at all. It's his style. Your really going to hate
the Madlib LP.
