Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve are Erol Alkan and Richard Norris. Alkan, I've mentioned before, is mostly an electro guy while Norris seems to be more eclectic in his taste and productions. BTWS specialize in editing mostly obscure and rare psychedelic rock or left-field disco tracks in ways that make them more obscure, aged and psychedelic. They put out 4 limited pressing vinyl EP's of 'original work' in between 2005 - 2008 on 3rd Mynd, all of which have been deleted and replaced with a 14 track LP called Ark 1 (by 'original work' I mean that BTWS is the artist, legitimate or not). They have also been commissioned to remix (or 're-animate' as they call it) artists like the Chemical Brothers, Goldfrapp, Franz Ferdinand, and Peter Bjorn and John and have released a cd of BTWS Re-Animations. I will put up a few originals and some re-animations so you can see what you'd get if you hit the fs buttons below. For the record I am posting these guys now because I have a hunch that there will some new BTWS stuff coming out soon, so when I post it you will have the background. Also you will have the background for the BTWS side project that I put up next.
Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve - Bubble Burst
Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve - Sunday Morning Sun-g
Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve - Get Ready to Fly
Other top originals (which I can't even find to embed) are Electric Bananas, Light Years, I Swim Around, Red Tuesday, and You Can Talk to Me.
REMIXES
Midlake - Roscoe (Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve Re-animation)
Goldfrapp - Happiness (Beyond The Wizards Sleeve Re-animation)
BTWS re-animated this one too, but good luck finding the mp3. They decided not to include it on their re-animations cd when Arthur Lee (one of Hendrix' favorite musicians) passed away. Maybe I will have to upload it myself.

Weak Bonus:
An Erol Alkan mix that sounds more like BTWS than anything he has done under his own name.
