U2, Dreadzone and Fatboy Slim are among the artists
who have contributed tracks to a benefit album to raise
funds to rebuild the devastation caused by Hurricane
Mitch in Central America .
�Planet Electrica�, which is out today (Mon), could raise around half
a million pounds for projects helping farmers to replant and to pay
for medicines and homes.
Tim and Greg from Dreadzone told The Net: "You see it
on TV and it�s hard to take in, but hopefully we�re doing what we do
best by giving some music. We�re not
politicians, we�re not gonna stand up there and talk about politics -
we wanna donate something we do best".
"Before, in the past, there�s been a particular project and we�d like
fight the power for the Criminal Justice Bill - we wrote that
specifically for that cause. But I think we contributed this quite a
while ago, before the Hurricane Mitch thing actually happened. We�re
glad it wasn�t the original version which is sort of very jolly - this
is a bit more serious".
