From Crash Avenue From Ben Sollee about Remix: A Few Honest Words I wrote A Few Honest Words with the idea that so much could be accomplished with more sincere and honest dialogue among our political representatives. Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention revitalized this notion. His words were equal parts grounding and uplifting. Obama is not scratching his way to the top of this election, but is riding on a wave of believers that love his story and admire the direction he aspires to lead this country. So, in collaboration with Atlanta’s DJ 2nd Nature, we have produced this remix which draws on some of Obama’s own words. http://www.barackobama.com/ Here's the remix, mastered mp3: http://www.2ndnatureremix.com/AFewHonestWordsRemix.mp3 and the wav file: http://www.2ndnatureremix.com/AFewHonestWords_FINAL_16bit.wav.zip ... and in case you want some history on the two...
