Ono - Yes Im a Witch




Yes, I'm a Witch is a remix album by Yoko Ono to be released in February 2007.
Artists invited to contribute were asked to select a song from Ono's back
catalogue, and were then presented with all the necessary elements to create a
remix/cover to their desires. According to the press release, nearly every
artist chose only the vocals, and created entirely new backing tracks to
demonstrate the versatility of Ono's compositions.

Notable contributors include Peaches, Le Tigre, The Flaming Lips, DJ Spooky, and
Polyphonic Spree. The song choices span Ono's career from her early experimental
work with John Lennon in the late 1960's through her solo career in the 70's and
80's. The album draws its title from a 1974 Ono song featured on her album A
Story, a track which is also featured here reworked by The Brother Brothers.

Flaming Lips collaborate with Yoko Ono
Peaches, Le Tigre and Polyphonic Spree also get involved

The Flaming Lips are among 17 artists covering Yoko Ono on a new album entitled 'Yes, I'm A Witch'.

Cat Power, Polyphonic Spree, Peaches and Antony of Antony & the Johnsons all contributed to the album, which involved each artist producing entirely new versions of her tracks, with most bands opting to use the original vocals.

The Flaming Lips' frontman Wayne Coyne said: "To be able to play with a track as uncompromising and confrontational as John and Yoko's 'Cambridge 1969' is, for any curious artist, a rare treat.

"We took Yoko's primal screams and John's moaning feedback and turned them into a kind of Ornette Coleman-esque melody...I fear we may have de-fanged rocks' most disturbing performance-art-jam."
