Hip hop legends Public Enemy have teamed up with Moby to release a track for the official Olympic Games album, which is being themed around peace and harmony. The music to MKLVFKWR (Make Love Fuck War) was written by Moby with legendary civil rights activist Chuck D handling the lyrics.

"Working with Moby on this theme and project again shows that music can be a universal language of peace," Public Enemy main-man Chuck D explained this week.

"Knowing his great work and concerns of the planet made this project one of like mindedness and world spirit."

Moby was similarly flattering about PE though used the record release to launch another attack on the Bush administration, reflecting the near daily tirades he's now posting on his website journal.

I have nothing against President Bush on a personal level, I'm sure that he's a decent enough guy to play darts with in a bar," he said this week.

"I just think that he's doing a terrible job as president and that he's afflicted with the double curse of ineptitude and hubris."

In another verbal onslaught he accused the Bush administration 'of playing politics with counter terrorism funding, in the most foul and pernicious way imaginable' adding 'I think that gw's truth-telling organ has atrophied."

MKLVFKWR by Moby and Public Enemy, is released on Mute on July 26, as a 12" vinyl release.
