Lead into Gold derives its name from the mystical practice of alchemy. The band is basically a solo project for Paul Barker, a talented and avant-garde bassist who joined forces with Alain Jourgensen in the late '80s to create several influential and powerful Ministry records. Paul and Roland Barker, as well as frequent future collaborator Bill Rieflin, played in a Seattle-based band called the Blackouts. When the Blackouts inked with Wax Trax! Jourgensen (already operating under the Ministry moniker) immediately partnered with Barker and the pair unleashed a multitude of vehicles including RevCo, 1000 Homo DJs, and Lard. Jourgensen and Barker dubbed themselves Hypo Luxa and Hermes Pan (respectfully and respectively) after a pair of free-wheeling Greek prostitutes. In the midst of this plethora of pounding, Lead into Gold emerged as Barker's baby. He wrote and sang each cut on the sole full-length Age of Reason, as well as the extended singles, Faster Than Light, Idiot, and Chicks and Speed: Futurism.

An unofficial remix of Coastin' by Young Wicked.

I did this using the released version of the track. I would love to get my hands on the stems and go in for real.

Follow Young Wicked on Twitter at @youngwicked303 and make sure to check out the real version of Coastin' too off his mixtape Young Wicked V.2. I love the track. The music pumps, the lyrics are on-point, the swagger is palpable, and his flow is meticulously precise.

Also, check out his stuff on MNE. (majikninjaentertainment.com)
