I have no way of convincing you that I made this, but I made this!
It was 2012 or 2013 or something - and I was in grad school in my mid twenties, and I'd recently become a dad and I was burnt out and fucking bored. I made the Singapore/Harbor Is Yours Track first - just for fun, and because I wanted to merge the nautical themes. I then started matching up the other tracks thinking about how they would merge thematically.
One of the things Aes tends to do is put really dark lyrics with funky bright beats, which adds to the puzzle-like quality of his songs ... and that's his creative prerogative. But I think the music and words combos here bring out the themes of the songs in a way that Aes wouldn't do so directly. For example the original beat for Fumes is quite funky whereas putting it with All The World is Fumes really shines a spotlight on how tragic Fumes is (All The World is Fumes is a song about someone killing their partner, if I recall correctly). So if you haven't really looked at the album from that POV - take a look at how the themes of the songs fit together ["Temptation" with the Aes song about shoplifting/kleptomania, for example].
From a production POV I really wanted to come at it from the idea of - what would Tom actually do if he was making a hiphop album? Which is why there are so many post-Swordfishtrombones-style added percussions. They're played in a nuschool hiphop way in terms of drum patterns, but there are a lot of additional percussions which aren't from either source - so not a pure mashup album in that sense. I think I'd heard that N.A.S.A. song where he featured with Kool Keith and I thought "ok cool collab but what would a Waits hiphop album actually sound like".
I don't think my mixes here are great but they obviously do it for enough of you folks for this to be sitting here with quarter of a million views!
When "Tom Shall Pass" went out on Bandcamp I set it to free, because it was a white label. Then I hit the free download limit after it went viral on blogs and eventually ended up having to take it down. So these copies on UA-cam are currently the only places you can listen to it now.
I haven't made anything similar since, nowadays I mostly make psychadelic lofi type stuff under the name Tony Westcliff & The Abominations.
Like I said, no way of proving any of the above, but there it is. I look forward to a million "cool story bro"s.
WORD
Cool story bro…
Cool Story bro (no really)
Legitimately cool story bro
you can prove it by putting on bandcamp again
I love Aesop Rock and I love Tom Waits I never thought in my life I would see them both together whether it's official or fan-made it's still amazing. This brings me so much joy.
Have loved Waits for years... have been slowing getting into Aes in recent years.
This is AMAZING! 😁
My friends don't know who either of these artists are... I need to find new friends
Rick Sanchez As Ricky would say: One man's garbage is another man person's good ungarbage.
not even Birdperson, figured he was on top o shit, smh
It's okay. My friends don't know these guys either

I was at the Rotten Robbies in Sebastopol California, a local gas station chain, when Tom Waits came up to me and asked if the music bumping out of my open trunk/exposed subwoofers was indeed Aesop Rock? I said yes, he's my favorite rapper, and also, I know your son Casey. I also scratch on turntables. He replied I love Aesop Rock, he's my favorite rapper too. I told him that I'd like to jam sometime and he proceeded to write my name and number down in his address book. I never heard from him, and I'm sure anyone reading this thinks I'm just some crazy person making up a ludicrous story, but it really happened & finding this video is quite the strange coincidence to me, as I'm sure you could imagine. I've also met Aesop Rock, at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, & when I discussed psychedelics in a manic manner, I believe I might have frightened him and have felt guilty ever since. Two true stories, believe it or not... I could give a s***
sick.

Aesop rocks while Tom waits.

Jimmy Firecracker, thanks so much.
This is up there with the Fela Soul mashup!!!
You deserve a Knighthood. A true scholar and a gent, thanks kindly
Thank you sir 👍
How the hell did I just find this? Two great things coming together like the most magical candy of all, the Reese's Peanut Butter cup.
Candy for my ears .. .
CrimsonSpectre put Chile powder on some water melon.
no doubt.. this is another one of my favourite #Aesoprock remix albums ever. plus him and the producer are friends. ua-cam.com/video/usikTkIf58w/v-deo.html
More like a chocolate Jesus
Good God this is everything I hoped it would be when I saw the title.
Absolutely killer

I cannot express how much I fucking love this. Two of my favorite artists together. I want to shake your hand, whoever you are.
I love aesop. I listen to Tom when I'm in the right mood to die of dementia. I respect both of them immensely. Whoever did this is a genius!
This is one of the wildest albums Ive ever heard, what a combo of Tom Waits and Aesop. Who ever would have thought this would be a thing. I'm completely mind-blown by this album.
No......no. To quote a friend, "Regardless of the execution, this is conceptually INSANE". Indeed. This is fucking genius, and the production is on fucking on-point. I can't even imagine the process involved with the record's conception, let alone the drugs, religion, or gods involved with the execution. Bravo maestro. And thank you.
i think drugs religion and gods are the only things left out bruh, how else you get this "conceptually insane"?.....it aint like nothin else. no cap.
you forgot to mention the gods executed
I pray to Luritz god of luxury mountains caves and secrets
This is the two craziest people in music making an album and it is just as demented as I would hope it would be
alotta people are dissin this in the comments sayin it's a shitty mash up etc. how many of you are producers or musicians? it's a creative concept. it's someone's idea and the person turned it into reality. that's how you make art. art is up for interpretation. I'm not a big fan of Aesop rock or Tom waits but this shit is dope.
+louis brains Because you need to be an artist in order to judge a certain art...
+The Mop not even close to being true lol
jeeperscreeperskilla That's what I'm say'n...
+The Mop do you have to be a cow to be a butcher?
Adam Whitney That's a shitty comparison, I think mine made a bit more sense...
Whoa...my mind is blown by this one. I need a tango till they're sore and swordfish trombone remix.
im shocked it took me this long to find this one. this is definitely one of the best mashups ive heard.
you can tell effort went in to this and it wasn't just sloppily put together.
My only regret in life is not finding this gem eight years sooner.
fr where has this been lol
Easily my fave 'aes mixed with another artist' album. A marriage made in musical heaven.
oh my god this makes me incredibly happy
Sad to see the bandcamp is down, would love to get the album somehow. Good stuff.
You sir have created maybe the greatest mashup I've ever heard!!! I thought that Aesop Rock meets Portishead was something amazing, THIS has exceeded that!
Pat yourself on the back!
Got a link to the Aes Portishead one?
I haven't purchased new music in a long time, but I bought this halfway through the first track. Thanks for making my iTunes orders of magnitude more awesome!
WHAT!?!?!? Tom Waits has been a massive influence for me, seeing this in my feed was a mindfuck. Thank you for this!
Probably my 2 favorite artists, both genius songwriters. This is brilliant.
omfg how can I have missed this? My two favorites. Thank you so much for this.
this is an amazing mix, i always thought about doing a tom waits and buck 65 mix but this works so perfectly , outstanding job!
DO IT! PLEASE
Remember reading Tom Waits interview, where he's like my kids listen to hip hop, like Aesop Rock
Everybody say: "GOOD DAD". Both are legends.
This shouldn't work half as well as it does. Absolutely visionary mix.
I agree this should have never worked out whatsoever but I'm glad it did.
Wow i'm glad I found this! Great combo Aesop and Tom very cool.
ok... putting 2 artist together takes some skill. taking some 2 relatively obscure artist takes skill and class. putting 2 ALBUMS TOGETHER?! *H O L Y C R AP* that is... godlike. you get my like, sir.
hell yea, this tops 2 chainz × wu tang
another one of my favourite #Aesoprock remix albums ever. plus him and the producer are friends. ua-cam.com/video/usikTkIf58w/v-deo.html
"Relatively obscure", these two have been famous probably longer than you've been alive...
@@Ssssssnakeisone "I've been ignored for longer than you've been interested"
the Tom Waits tracks aren't all from the same album, they're a mix of his stuff from the 80s onward; basically everything after get got Weird.
Undercomb Kids is simply amazing work. It opens so strong and managed to capture my full attention. Two songs I know well, but mashed up, and it was like finding something new. Great album all around, thanks for sharing this.
god i wish this was on vinyl for the collection. such a classic.
In response to this...I have spoken to the folks over at Good Darts (record label) about making a ltd run of vinyl...
Or even disc or casette
Sign me up
Possibly the perfect combination? I can't say I've heard a better MU....Well done, my man or woman.
The individual who mashed these two musical visionaries up has a creative tip in their psyche. I applaud them for doing so.
Alas, I would love if Aes would release Accapellas from his first three LP's. I'd take a bash at mashing them up with some other lesser known tracks out in the ethos.
aesop x residents
aesop rock×gorillaz?
@@maneonanewplanenigga5162 I cant even dislike your comment enough times,sunset dude
Dude I found this a couple months back, loved it instantly. Thanks so much for making this it flows, fits, and feels great. My favorite song individually is definitely Dirt City at 39:46
Keep it up brother!
how, where,... your a genius, i'm not even ...
dude, this is the best mashup ive ever fucking heard, none shall pass is my favorite. that one is amazing
Whoa.... that was afuckingmazing... thank you !
Aesop has gotten me thru 3 long ( very heart breaking starting life over wanting to leave life missing grand daughter vic of violent crime the damn Rona years now and unfortunately I'm losing my mom to cancer. I figure my headphones wont be leaving from my head much cuz this is going on my 2021 is gonna be my bitch playlist
I ♡ this
I usually prepare to cringe when pressing play on online mashups. This is great though, I do agree some more of Toms vocals would be cool though.
Iv'e been listening to both of these guys for years and this has to be one of my favourite mashups. What a killer combo!
My life is now complete 😍
did i stumble into another dimension again?
Yes, this is great! It fully succeeds where Keith Floyd failed, by very clearly using Tom Waits source material (not the merest table scraps...meat!). This deserves to get heard!
This is incredible. Did not expect these two mashed up! Well constructed, too!
My name is Jay. I know Tom Waits is supposed to be the beez kneez. Never heard him tho. Leaving now to find out. Thanks Ace.
+jaycolbert606 Hi jay

BRILLIANT ‼️2 LISTENS WITH 1 SPIN.
Can it be? This is a dream come true!
yeah, this shit fucking wrecks. who the fuck is responsible? i'd very much like to shake their hands..
Such a good concept, but I feel that a golden opportunity was passed by on the execution. Why mashup Tom Waits without his signature voice? If the songs had had more of an interplay between the two singers instead of the lyrics of one and the music of the other, this would have been a fantastic album. Keep it up and I'll be looking forward to the next work that comes out from this mashup artist.
good point. I noticed a lot of the songs where Waits' vocals are used, they seem to fit lyrically/thematically (e.g. Singapore with the track where Aes is rapping about pirates) so maybe sometimes the producer just left Waits vocals out because he was trying to make them fit thematically. Or maybe a chorus on every tune would've seemed too poppy or something.
Joe Baxter-Webb
Yeah. I noticed it in songs like all the world is Fumes, where Tom sings about men doing stupid things (on behalf of a woman if I remember correctly), and rock is rapping about a guy who made a dumb decision to let a girl move in with him or something. They can both be kind of difficult to interpret sometimes, ha.
Benjamin Christianson hehe yeh. I think a lot of Aesop's fanbase are just people who love interpreting lyrics. All The World is Green is a scene in a musical type show where the protagonist kills his lover for cheating on him. Different sort of thing but I guess the bittersweetness is there.
I didn't realize Blood Money was a musical! You can bet I'm going to go look into this now.
Dameon Von Frankenstein I want to like it but you're right
Great concept, execution works more often than it doesn't. Album seems to get better and better as it goes on. It would have been nice to have more of Tom's singing mixed in.
This is the shit! I've never heard anything so beautifully random and perfect on top of that. I feel like Aesop Rock could easily be my new addiction. I'm late but I have plenty to binge on.
I believe this mashup was made specifically for me
.omg. Pretty late on this... Dec 03, 2021. Stunning.
Thanks for the great inspiration 🖤
sick beyond, beyond. thx
This is really good. Never knew this album or mash up existed. Thanks for this! The 2nd track makes me think of Clipping.
First time I've ever heard this, but it's badass!
The transitions are so damn clean
Yes!
Dark Heart of Istanbul is so fucking good
This makes my year!
... where the fuck did this come from?
The internet
this guy's knowledge.
seriously. i love tom. i love aesop. how??
Aesop said that tom waits is one of his biggest inspirations
Now do it for some spirit world field guide /garbology tracks :D thank you my lord World Peng
that is a good call!
This may be my favorite thing ever
Walking my daughter to school and we have our headphones in when we found this and i commented I guess out loud " get the fuck outta here" the principle had to remind me about appropriate language...and later in the day I got a call from the teacher about my daughter getting her headphones taken cause she didnt want to stop listening.
I'll be honest I like it best with mostly Aesop's lyrics and Tom's instrumentals. I've always been a bigger fan of Tom's instrumentals than his voice. This album is incredible
I'm so goddamn angry that I'm just now finding this, thanks to a friend who tagged me in the link on FB.
holy fuck- just the idea blows my mind- have a temple to tom and aesop rocks...bring it on...
Aaaaah, I knew I had heard these songs before. I had to reach none shall pass to be sure.
If you don't have time to listen to the whole thing start at 39:44
dirt city is absolutely the best one
This is rad....like really sick
The fact that I can't find a standalone of "Pluto's Away On Business" is a crime
has anybody ever considered blending la dispute with aesop rock? that could be interesting, they're very lyrically compatible, and abrasive.
***** I love, literally, EVERYTHING about both of your posts. There IS hope for humanity!
Has anyone eva thought bout Aes and Dell cooperating on a collaberation?
Orr have a tag team match of Aes & dell vs. RTJ? then when its a tie maybe zach dela could put in his two cents? Thtd make too much sense. Like a senseory o.d.
Man I love the sound of that
I absolutely love this album. It's perfect. The complex lyrics of aes go well with the strange music of Tom Waits.
This is an exciting amalgamation of sounds.
New idea 🧠 instead of Tom Shall Pass, I suggest "NONE SHALL WAIT" 🤘🤘
this is GOLD! both artists are very unique and very out of the box. love them! i wonder what the voice of tom would sound like over aesops beats.. hmmm.. i bet that mash up would also be very nasty
How did you make me like my favorite Aes album even more?
bring pluto back is just... wow... PROPS.
You need an award for this. It’s glorious!
Nice stuff Joe
Nice to find a time capsule of the night my parents met
I just discovered this!! Where the fuck have I been???
this is some sort of epic!
Any being who has the balls to go at it
With Tom are hired
Cool concept; amazing execution. Well done!
Listened about 3 times..really liking this
Again again!!!
Best $3 I spent on Bandcamp
Sorry what?
How have I never heard of this before?!
This is brilliant!!! Frozen beans and Koo doze!!! º•º
Holy shit why haven't I been here before
this is awesome
amazing!!!
As far as this concerned, lately
I've been relinquishing my reign talking about how I slept in a dude's car and I didn't know I
im
All day all out all exempt from not being legend.
Moving along I've been blessed rating by the top singing to the holo bottom.
Sound show to the city raw polar nature defend. Chill til the wrecked episode.
Peace by peace

MY LIFE IS COMPLETE
This is really good
28:17 9. Citronella Eyeball
no city is a masterpiece
i just smoked a big bowl and was listening to random aes tracks. found this, and it's blowing my fucking mind. None Shall Pass is one of my favorite albums, and this is such a great companion take on it. Really gives the lyrics a whole new dimension and gravity. Please do Skelethon (whoever made this)!
+dagrimmreepa Aes released all the acapellas for NSP, not sure if he did it for Skelethon.
Joe Baxter-Webb Good point. I know for a fact the instrumentals were released, guess I figured the a capella was, too.
5:42 though
