Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

Escape Artists - Plot Against the Dream: The Remix Album (2010)





For today we have Plot Against the Dream: The Remix Album by Escape Artists. It consists of various reworkings and remixes of songs from the similarly named and excellent release Plot Against Theme Escape Artists dropped way back in 2002. Speaking of, it's been a long time since 2010's Coming of Age. We miss you guys, anything on the horizon?

Anyway, Escape Artists are a favorite of mine. They're unique and dark but still manage to produce bangers and catchy tracks that provide an immersive and often emotional listening experience. Plot Against the Dream is an interesting window into their history from the early 2000's, and no fan of the art rap group should be without it.

Note that this download contains an image I made way back when, it's the liner notes superimposed over an altered cover of the original Plot Against Theme album art. I was bored and thought it looked cool at the time, now I'm wishing that I'd left it alone. It does have some interesting information however, so I left it in the folder for you.

That's all, happy Friday and enjoy!


This album is now available as a Pay What You Want download from EA here!
