Gil Scott Heron

A lament  about the state of affairs at the beginning of the Reagan years. 

With respect, I cut and rearranged it extensively, keeping what I felt were still the most relevant lyrics for 2013.
Although there were a number of short instrumental parts later in the track, there was  literally no clean loop for the introduction so I had to create one by cutting and splicing small grabs from the main body of the tune and reconstructing a series of instrumental loops for this purpose. 

The structure of the original is introduction _ poem _ song. 
I rearranged this using the song parts as a chorus with the selected poem parts as a form of verse in between, and attempted to keep true to the flow and build of the original. Not too heavy but still to the point. 

Added some extra drums for more stomp, some subtle effects and layering of bass sections. Moved the tempo up to 107. Hope you enjoy it!

Gil Scott-Heron - B Movie (Lac's give em hell edit)

Includes excerpts from "The Bicentennial Blues", a track which I was none too fond of as a relative youngster, as it seemed to me then that The Blues was something older people invoked whenever they wanted to make you feel like you didn't know anything. I was also irritated by the very specific and (and to my very young self) seemingly meaningless political references in this track. For me back then, it was all about "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", "Home Is Where The Hatred Is", "The Bottle" or "It's Your World".  

Well, time passes and I went on to become a huge GSH fan, so much so I would probably have been happy to sit and listen to him reading from the phone book, let alone recite the Bicentennial Blues, and what seemed to me almost passé then has proven to be remarkably prescient today: the names have changed, the culprits haven't. 

Let's hope that he achieves the artistic and cultural position he really deserves, and soon.  People like Gil don't come along very often, he will be sorely missed.
