Zack de la Rocha - His works outside Rage Against the Machine (@256)
Artists such as Zack de la Rocha are needed in today's music environment. His political activism, his militant "Hard Stance" (to use the name of his first band), and not less importantly his great talent as a composer, singer and live performer have created a big gap during his years of absence. Thus, it was a great pleasure to grab a new release that came out from his collaboration with Jon Theodore, under the name "One Day as a Lion". Their debut ep was released in 2008, and although nothing has been said about their first album, I hope that this year we'll have the pleasure to hear more. I was also very happy about the reunion of RATM for live shows in Reading and Leeds festival last year.
Zack's comeback is celebrated from this blog by compiling songs that have been released outside his former group. Two songs are offered from the bands he was a member before RATM (Hard Stance, Inside Out), while the rest of the tracks have been taken from compilations, soundtracks or albums of artists where Zack is participating as a guest.

Thank you! No Spiritual Surrender was my favorite song in high school and I don't I've heard it since.
ReplyDeletean inflammable material isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi there. Any chance you could re-up the link? Please?
ReplyDeleteSally, as far as I checked, the link works properly. Could you give it another try? Inform me if there is any other problem.
ReplyDeletejust to let you know, on the download the song you put up as CIA is the wrong one.. if you check youtube its a different one!
ReplyDeleteI have to congratulate you, Mat. After 1 year and 605 downloads, you were the only one that you noticed the error in CIA track. What had happened was that I had extracted track no11 (which is Society by Problemz) rather than track no10, (which is C.I.A.) from the Lyricist Lounge cd. So, after 1year, I feel obliged (a) to ask all 605 of you that downloaded the wrong version to forgive my mistake (b) to correct the compilation by adding the correct track and (c) to thank you for your notice; such comments are really valuable.
