Twin Freaks - Another Macca side project

TWIN FREAKS eponymous debut album is released through Parlophone Records on the 13th of June. TWIN FREAKS is a collection of some of Paul McCartney’s best-loved classics alongside some hidden gems from music’s most envied back catalogue.

TWIN FREAKS features the studio wizardry of DJ and producer The Freelance Hellraiser, best known for his unforgettable mash-up the 2002 bootleg ‘A Stroke Of Genius’. Hellraiser has since become one of the most sought after remixers and last year he came to the attention of music legend Paul McCartney.

In the summer of 2004 The Freelance Hellraiser joined Paul McCartney’s 14 date European stadium tour, opening each show with a twenty-five minute set of remixed McCartney tunes, which culminated in the famous headline performance at Glastonbury. At the time The Freelance Hellraiser said, “There is such an amazing album to be made of some of Paul’s unknown tracks from the late Seventies and early Eighties. He was doing some utterly cool stuff then that the young audience would lap up now".

Causing quite a stir on the underground club scene throughout the UK TWIN FREAKS has already received airplay on Radio One’s prestigious show The Blue Room as well as support from Zane Low, Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and XFM. The album is packed with dance-floor epics that span Paul McCartney’s illustrious career. From his solo debut album McCartney (‘Maybe I’m Amazed’) through to 2003’s Driving Rain (‘Rinse The Raindrops’) and including electro-pop rediscovered classics such as ‘Temporary Secretary’ from the McCartney 2 album. TWIN FREAKS is an alternative take on the greatest back catalogue in music.

I guess all that ILM talk about how great Maccartney II was actually got heard by someone...

Unfortunately it seems to only be available as a 2xLP in bloody England, which means it's something like $33 BEFORE shipping to the States. Toss that one on the Christmas list I guess...

just dont get the reason why its vinyl only, how bloody annoying, though ebay seems to advise that there are cd copies from some far away euro countries - or are these bootlegs perhaps ?
i have yet to actually see a copy anywhere cd/vinyl ..

any updates/advise as to whether worth the effort to track this down would be kinda nice .. or, are mashups sooo over now ?

I listen to this far more frequently than I probably should. Fantastic.

I do love this album.. I had a CD promo (totally legit copy), sold it on e-bay, it paid for the family holiday in Turkey, I kid not. (OK, the all-inclusive hotel, not the flight, but still..)

Notwithstanding that, I think it's his best album for a long time, and love it still..

Oh fuck, it's not a stunning return to form is it?

um, no it's someone else's good handwroter.

i still love this album.

Yes, it's been my very pal.

the Coming Up and Maybe I'm Amazed versions are spectacular

just found a freelance hellraiser vs paul mccartney unreleased track on my hard drive.
part of the twin freaks project that was never released.
are people interested in hearing this ?
i suspect not.

The project was released, or do you mean the track you found?

Yeah, ok then

i have a track that was never cleared ..

i actually have a couple ..

though one is not really possible to put under the 'twin freaks' banner as its a twisted take on the separation ...

are people interested in hearing this ?

of course!
