Two weeks ago (it feels a lot longer!) Adriana from Bootie called out the laziness of non-genre clashed mashups of Lil Nas X's Montero (Call Me By Your Name) in a tweet. This caused a storm, not just some drama but also a flurry of Montero mashups that weren't pop vs pop. Myself I did two mashups - both Beatles - in response, and now the Crumplbangers crew organised by iWillBattle have assembled the response mashups into a compilation called Mashtero - focusing on mostly the genre-clash ones and excluding ones that were earlier or unrelated or putting them into the bonus tracks. This was a real struggle in part because of the mode Montero is in, Phyrgian, WTF? And the key change on the choruses, which seemed to flummox a lot of people, but thanks to advice from Vixoriadrift, ToTom and others, we got there in the end I think. Unless you REALLY like Montero, Mashstero at 28 tracks might be more Lil Nas X than you can take, but there are some really good tracks here. Hopefully Montero's 15 minutes aren't up just yet...but proud to be on this compilation. I rarely get asked to be on compilations or albums, actually *cough*. I've not listened to every one, but the album is very diverse from pop, rock, punk, techno and heavy metal bangers to plunderphonic / crumpl tracks and jazz, country, funk and soul. Something for everyone! The ones I have I can really recommend Adriana's Cure one, ToTom's excellent one with George Michael's Faith, iWillBattle's Iron Maiden mashup which is a bonus track, pomDeter's Slayer one which in 'Will it Mash' style both myself and ToTom gave some advice on via Twitch. And I like GaraGara's dub one which as well as being a rarity in the mashup world, a reggae mashup that's not Bob Marley or Sean Paul, that acapella weirdness blends surprisingly well with dub and dancehall. EDIT: listening now, it holds up surprisingly well as an album....I'd add GladiLord's Kill Switch Engage to that list. And loving the Shirley Bassey ending by departure.(It is nice confirmation that I was on the right track to try and hide the nastiness in the bass of the acapella with heavy guitars, I did try those Slayer and Iron Maiden tracks when I did my first Montero mashup, I even tried Black Sabbath and Judas Priest - but me and heavy metal timings are not on talking terms. I don't like mashups that speed up or slow down unless it's seamless - which is quite hard, and pomDeter has managed that here. Nas Tripper was the closest I got to that idea.).
