Circus of Pain is a joint collaboration of all past and present members of The
Swamp Terrorists and Meathead. While only an EP, and four of the eight songs
merely being remixes of the same track, this release should not be taken
lightly. Each of the remixes are extensive reworks of the original track. The
Swamp Terrorists remixes of the Meathead "Dick Smoker" track even has the
vocals totally replaced by the remix artist. It's odd to here STR going crazy
on vocals on what used to be a Meathead track. It's the first remix to my
knowledge where the vocals have been replaced in the method and it works
amazingly well. The last two tracks should also be mentioned due to their
unique nature. "Butt...What?" is a short filler track, much in the same vein as
used by Swamp Terrorists on their own full length albums. The last track seems
to be some type of sound collage with random bits of vocal samples, static, and
percussion loops all through together into one big experimental mix which is
unlike anything either band has done in the paste. Portions of it appears to be
other Meathead and Swamp Terrorists track reversed and slow down when listened
to closely. In any event, this EP is something that any Swamp Terrorist junky
would want to pick up for the sheer novelty value alone.
