Ultimate Smashup: Osymyso 
 
by Lenka Reznicek [permalink] 
In the words of one person who posted a comment on 3hive, "Someone alert the RIAA. That 10 minutes has more copyright infringements than an hour spent on Kazaa..." Osymyso's Introinspection is an amazing 12:12 of hooks and samples melded into a mindblowing musical kaleidoscope. Every moment contains at least two smashed-up songs, continuously overlapping one another [sample moment: The Who's My Generation smashed up with You Take My Breath Away by Berlin, and 10cc's I'm Not In Love with Ultravox's Vienna].

At moments veering close to a mad wedding party DJ's experiment, the sequel Introinspection II is great fun too; it features the "Oompa-Loompa Song" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory smashed up with the Trammps' Disco Inferno and Eminem, along with many other chocolate-meets-peanut-butter moments.
