Mashopolos is a pop, hard-rock, metal, disco, movie-soundtrack, hindi-pop, bhangra type album put together using other people’s music. Each pairing was achieved by loving cajoling and violent contortion of the source materials and was produced in Athens, Greece (hence the album title) throughout February and March 2007.

11. Maiden Goes To Hollywood
Iron Maiden + Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Iron Maiden’s album Powerslave was released in September 1984, just one month prior to the release of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s equally seminal Welcome to the Pleasuredome. Whilst the two albums represented opposite ends of the pop music milieu, both shared equal measures of camp, chest-beating bravado, epic songwriting and interestingly, themes based on the work of the 18th century English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Maiden’s longest ever song — The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, was of course a re-telling of the famous Coleridge poem in which a wedding guest is regaled by a world-weary mariner about his supernatural encounters on an ill-fated sea voyage. The epic title track of Frankie’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome is based Coleridge’s other best know poem Kubla Khan – from which the opulent ancient Mogul capital of Xanadu was made (in)famous.

IN AWE … amazing work on everything you have done, although if you keep this up I’m gonna have to get rid of all my years of collecting vinyl & Cd’s as i won’t need them anymore :)
Is this music royalty free?
No, the copyright belongs to the artists or record labels whose music has been mashed.
And I thought Rock Sugar were good. This is brilliant. Great listen mate.
congratulations. this is realy lesson of music art.
I have only one problem with “Stayin’ Alive in The Wall”. Both songs are so great, I’m not sure which to sing along with. Keep up the great work.
Just downloaded this album (Mashopolis) and I can’t wait to hear it. I found some of your video mashups on You Tube and was blown away by the quality of your work. You rock!
Keep on Mashin’
P.
Track 8 just ROCKS! It’s groovy man!
I am a spinning (aka Studio Cycling) instructor at RAF Waddington, UK.
I regularly use several of your tracks in my sessions.
Some other instructors also use some of your work.
I am also renowned for using another mashup by a band called The Red Hot Chilli Pipers – ACDC & Deep Purple on Bagpipes!
Keep up the good work – I’m looking forward to Mash 4
Just came here to say that Hallowed Be Thy Enemy is freakin’ AMAZING!
Wow.
Maiden goes to hollywood just blew the shit out.
Nice work. Some great mash on here..
class mash ups have downloaded many to spread the word .just friggin awesome
black zepplin is the coolest ever
This site is amazing! …This is the gritty rocker mash work I’ve been looking for, and it’s brilliant! Great stuff.
Spreading the word, Q
Great stuff! I especially respect the last piece Maiden Goes To Hollywood. While the music of Frankie and Iron Maiden does not mix as perfectly as some of the other smashups (Thunder Busters is an instant catcher!!), the piece has a brilliant concept and execution! Shows that these smashups are not just random tunes thrown into a blender, but there has been a lot of thought behind some of them. Cheers!
Metallica Goes to Punjab is the best thing I’ve ever heard. Better than Thunderbusters, which I consider to be a close second.
Dudes!!….I can’t believe I just found you now….I’m sitting here with a scotch and water with a shit eating grin on my face. U absolutely Fn tear it up. Awesome work!! Please keep it up.
