N.A.S.A. Cover Max Romeo For Dr Martens 50th Anniversary

• 10th Aug 2010

Here it is, the latest installment of Dr Martens 50th Anniversary. We are now up to release 7 of 10 contemporary re-workings of cult classics. Last month, we saw The Pogues covered by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and prior to that, the touch of genius has been added by Dam Funk, Buraka Som Sistema, The Duke Spirit and Cinematic Orchestra amongst others.

Release number 7 sees N.A.S.A., the cross-continental, genre-crossing duo who are masters of the collaboration; their ‘Spirit of Apollo’ album of 2009 saw guest spots from M.I.A., Karen O, Kanye West, Tom Waits and David Byrne amongst many others. N.A.S.A. Have reworked legendary reggae cut, Max Romeo’s ‘Chase The Devil’.

At the Dr Martens 50th Anniversary Site you can find a video of the specially created video – directed by author, artist, grammy winning film maker and reggae aficionado Don Letts, the free track to download, and a special making of video.
