About this album

TNC 8 tracks (32:51)

Regarding the obvious controversal nature of the new remastering/ cover/ vocal addition re: classics album, in his own words:

“DISCLAIMER
So, you may have realised……this isn’t my music. It is my vocal, but not my music. All music rights belong to Ratatat and their association publishing companies. PLEASE do not sue me, I have no intention of sell these versions or making them available for download, if anything it works as promo for the original artist, so let’s be friends :)

Ok, so here’s the story behind the album….

I was driving home from work one night, and I decided the journey would be a little nicer with some music. I was skipping through some albums and came across Classics by Ratatat, and picked that for the magical position of entertainment.

Now, this album had never sat right with me, but I had never lost interest in it for some reason. So I put it on, and as I was listening I started to hum melody lines along with the songs, and then make some up of my own which is when I came up with the idea. I thought, why not do a version of this album with vocals, it could sound great.

I KNOW some will consider this sacrilegious and completely against the spirit of the band, but it was never intended to replace but be an addition to the original.

Hope you enjoy it.”

In total respect to your effort, I think you've ruined the songs and the album cover. I couldn't even listen to one song that you've made knowing the originals were perfect already. Hope you keep on making your own music

we expected (and value) these opinions, however please remember to read the disclaimer & reasons why he added vocals. CLICK THIS LINK HERE. unfortunately last.fm does not have a wiki for albums. :/ Rob is not getting money for this nor is it available for download {anywhere}.

Dude. You can't just sing over an existing instrumental album and call it your own. While I realize you are giving credit to the original artist, you still don't have the right to put their full songs up for streaming. Ratatat's music is MEANT to be instrumental and works perfectly as such. Singing RUINS it. Make original songs out of the lyrics you've written. I sincerely hope this gets removed.
