THE DANDY WARHOLS The Dandy Warhols Are Sound (2009 UK 13-track CD album - In the spring of 2003, the Dandy Warhols released 'Welcome To The Monkey House'. The album, co-produced by Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes, turned out a couple of cult favorites ['We Used To Be Friends' & 'I Am A Scientist']. Fans latched on to the tongue-and-cheek lyrics they'd come to expect from Courtney Taylor-Taylor, and commended the band for expanding their sound into a mix of organic and electro elements thattoday, over six years after the record was released, seems particularly forward-thinking and relevant. But whilst the band weren't unhappy with Monkey House's final result, they had originally intended to release a version mixed by GRAMMY-award winning soul mixing engineer, Russell Elavedo [D'Angelo's, The Roots, Common, Alicia Keys]. However, then Capitol Records president Andy Slater chose to release the mix the label had arranged. 'The Dandy Warhols Are Sound' is the original 'Welcome To The Monkey House' album, mixed by Russell Elavedo. It is, in a sense, the 'Director's Cut'!).
