WATCH: Mark E Smith Mutation Guest Spot

Ever wondering what it’s like to work in the studio with Mark E Smith? Well, here’s a remarkable insight from the recording of his appearance on ex-Wildhearts man Ginger’s new project, Mutation. On it, members of Young Legionnaire, Cardiacs, Napalm Death, Hawkeyes and Ginger himself discuss what it’s like when the man himself pops round to bark into the mic… "he’s not always the most pleasant of people" "terrifying" and "it was everything you wanted it to be, and everything you didn’t". There’s also great Mark E Smith instruction directed at the producer: "In my headphones it sounds like the fucking Smurfs… stop piddling about… you can do it if you try."
