47. JUDGEMENT BY SISTER MARY NELSON, 1927

REMIX: IAIN FORSYTH AND JANE POLLARD, JUDGEMENT (YOU BETTER GET READY), 2007

The artists explain their approach: “Judgement is a haunting track that seems to truly embody the spirit of the Anthology. We wanted to step inside it, to understand it, and to echo its conspiratorial sense of endeavour and purpose. It's unquestionably a call to action - so we took to the streets, to Trafalgar Square, and set about spreading the word of the song. This is our cover version.”

Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard met and began working collaboratively in 1993. An interdisciplinary approach to art, music, mediation and 'liveness' has led to their continued engagement with the soundtrack underpinning contemporary life. In 2006 they presented their most ambitious project to date, ‘Silent Sound’, featuring an original score by Jason Pierce from the band Spiritualized, for the Liverpool Biennial.
