In Honor of 2008 Presidential Election

crystal Remake by The Crystal Method

In 1994, The Crystal Method released their first single “Now Is The Time,” which sampled the title, a prominent slogan of the 1960’s civil rights movement. More than a decade later, the same slogan was used throughout Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic convention held in Denver, CO last month. (Watch the speech below.)

As election time nears, The Crystal Method—who are Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland—have remade the song utilizing a sample of Obama’s “Now is the time…” statement from his speech. Fans will be able to obtain the song as a free download through The Crystal Method’s website. Corresponding artwork for the song by Shepard Fairey, a revision of his popular Obama portrait logo, can also be viewed at the site.

And if you haven’t yet registered to vote…Get on it!
