I love The Beastie Boys. Not just because they play great music but also because they always seem to have respect for their fans and a real understanding in how those fans desire to celebrate and participate in their music.

The Beastie Boys have provided a collection of accapella tracks on their website for the sole purpose of allowing others to distribute and remix to their heart’s content. This has spawned a slew of remixes from all over the globe. Some of the best are made by Leo Nevilo and have been collected in a free Creative Common licensed album titled Beastie Boys Revisited.

The ten tracks are classic Beastie Boy vocals and Nevilo’s accompaniments keeps them rocking. Nevilo’s manipulations are supportive and do not intrude unnecessarily on the vocals. If anything, the remixes add a little industrial touch to the hip-hop and rock. These remixes should thrill the Beastie Boys fans and others will like them just because they are so damn good!

The tracks are available as separate tracks or album zip. The file format is MP3 (64kbps, 192kbps, or VBR) or Ogg Vorbis.
