"He wanted to write Buddhist bubblegum music" - Allen Ginsberg

"He would encourage me to appreciate stuff that I would write off as commercial... He heard something in there" - David Byrne

"It's the mystery of the creative process that does not submit to formula but subverts the formula - that's what you heard in Arthur's music." - Phillip Glass

'Master Mix' hears over 20 artists brilliantly reimagine Russell's genre-defying compositions, including Sufjan Stevens, Robyn, Hot Chip, Lonnie Holley and Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry. 'Master Mix' (Yep Roc) is out 10/21 and available exclusively on cassette for Cassette Store Day this Satuday, 9/27.
