Public Enemy - Bring The Noise 2000 (2000)

'Bring the Noise 2000' is an unreleased industrial remix album of Public Enemy tracks produced by Spacey B & George "Cornbread" Marshall, intended to keep the band's name in the public eye after their modestly successful 1998 'He Got Game' album. When downloading really took off in 2000, quickly followed by the Metallica-led Napster lawsuits, Chuck D embraced it as a way of discovering new acts, and using the technology to create a new music. Public Enemy were, along with David Bowie, at the forefront of using the internet to their own advantage, and their website was full of audio files just waiting to be downloaded. In 2000, they came up with the plan to post audio files of 27 remixes of songs from their discography, releasing one a day for a month, but after only four days their record distributor PolyGram stepped in and not only stopped them posting any more, but also made them take down the ones that were already online. This action resulted in the group's departure from the label, and their next album 'There's A Poison Goin' On' was released on the independent label Atomic Pop. Enterprising fans have ensured that the album has been leaked online, and it's worth hearing even if you already have these songs, as the majority of them are in a breath-taking 37-minute mega-mix of all their best stuff.
