(D/L) Girl, you know it's EPIC.

Seems like every now and then, as a promotional item for a CD, a group will put out an extra little song or remix that *won't* actually appear on the CD, but serves as a bit of a stylistic teaser. So, as a non-album teaser for my upcoming 2-disc Milli Vanilli anniversary collection, "Our Lips Are Sealed," I present a track that some might love, while some might scream at the sheer thought of.

A sixteen-minute version of "Girl You Know It's True." I know, you just can't WAIT to dig in. It's like the "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" of manufactured German pop!

Basically, I was listening to the CD single of GYKIT, which had a handful of remixes. I quickly realized that the remixes were pretty much identical - exact same beat loop, same verses and choruses scrambled around with little done in terms of mixing, a couple unique stretches here and there. But so much of the single just seemed like a waste, because you were hearing identical material five times over. I decided to throw away the repetitiveness, and cram everything worthwhile into one long version.

Using the eight-minute Super Club Mix as a base (it's essentially an extended mix of the familiar album version, including a verse that was spliced out everywhere else), I used the lengthy breakdown in the middle as a launching point, throwing in unique bits of the NY Subway, G-Spot Beats, and Prime Cuts mixes. The totally random sampled nature of the new sections meant that with a little bit of volume tweaking, I could cut back and forth between the remixes and the transitions would be damn near unnoticeable.

Enjoy.... I guess! :-)
(Look at them, tryin' to be Michael 'n' shit.)
