Обложка альбома «Rebirth of a Nation» — DJ Spooky & Kronos Quartet

In 2004, artist-composer Paul Miller, a.k.a. DJ Spooky, re-edited director D.W. Griffith's racially problematic 1915 silent film as <i>Rebirth of a Nation</i>. As you'd expect, contrasts abound on its recorded score. Heavy drums and bass clash with excitable strings on "The Next Election", back-porch harmonica slashes through "A Nation Divided" and modern classicists Kronos Quartet play the blues on "Gus, Elsie, Silas and the Klan". There's even a nod to Griffith's original Wagner score in the driving "Ride of the Klansmen".
