Song of the 101. Week: Remix of Trabant's "Superman" by Worm is green

By making the post about Icelandic music compilations, I was thinking about the "42 more things to do in zero gravity part 1" Album (Thule Label, 2002).
A Worm Is Green Remix of "Superman", a song of the band Trabant (R.I.P.), is on this double album.
A New Album by Worm Is Green is expected to be released in 2009 (Source: YouTube channel of the band). Band Trabant is no more.

Icelandic Music Compilations & Samplers (Part 2)

Upcoming Icelandic Music Compilation on Abutre Netlabel
Everybody knows that Iceland is a landscape graced with rare specimens and has a quite distinguished fauna of experimental and innovative music. But – besides known names such as Björk, Sigur Rós or múm – there's an all universe (yet to find) of projects, sculptured by the icy breeze, that tend to challenge the barriers of creativity and emotion. Abutre Netlabel – with the collaboration of the web portal Iceland Music Export – is preparing a compilation with the new names and the best kept secrets from the Icelandic scene. This project will have a graphic component, as well, once the artwork will be developed by artists from Iceland.
