Scream, the boldly adventurous yet tragically flawed collaborative project between Chris Cornell and Timbaland, was released to almost unanimous scathing reviews earlier this year. Even Cornell friend Trent Reznor publically dragged Chris' name through the mud about it via Twitter. Although a few of the songs lent themselves to excellent remixes (Digital Dog's "Long Gone" and L.A. Riots "Part of Me" particularly), the rest of the album has pretty much sunk like a concrete-shoe wearing dead hooker in a Louisiana swamp. Until now, that is. Jordan Zadorozny (of Canadian band Blinker The Star) was brought in to see what he could do with the tracks, and the first fruit of that labor, "Never Far Away" reminds us of the Cornell we know and love again. The newly produced track still has a slight electronic edge, the original majestic melody, and Chris' soaring vocals, of course. (Sorry to post a 128kbs file, but it was the best I could do at the moment and I promise you don't want to wait to hear it!)http://www.zshare.net/audio/67578242c4b7b5af/
