Hey everyone

I thought it was time for a new CD swap, since the two "active" ones have, for the most part, ended ('cept for a few delinquent senders). So, i've been trying to think of a new twist on this, and here is my idea:

10 people - 1 CD a piece dedicated to a specific genre (if you want to exceed that, go right ahead, but 1 is all that is required). There are no genres that will be chosen off the bat, so whatever you want, as long as its open and you're one of the first 10, grab it. The choices can be as broad as "Instrumentals," "A Capella," "Jazz," "Classical," or as specific as "Acid Jazz," "Indie Hip-Hop," "Speed Metal," etc. Try and pick a genre that you feel you can give people a newfound appreciation of. And yes, i know that "Instrumental" isn't really a genre per se, but use your imagination. This swap is only for the adventurous and should be a lot of fun.

CDs will be sent out once every week in a random order so there is time to digest, and is open to anyone on the forum, despite location.

Cool.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really glad you like it.

-

I mixed it using Adobe Audition. I edited some of the tracks and dropped a few odd sounds here and there.

The only track/segment I kind of regret including is the Merzbow bit. I think it fits alright, but the racket is a little of a turn off for most folks.

It lulls me to sleep, too. Not safe for the car!

Review - ObfuscateByWill:

well, that was worth the wait! I knew I'd like it cause the tracklists of the previous mixes made me drool. I'm currently reading a (very good) book called "Techno Rebel - A Century of Electronic Music", in which the author links today's techno with the "experimental" styles of the 20th century, so it's good to have some David Toop (who's obviously heavily mentioned) to listen to while reading. I've yet to try your mix in the proper conditions (ie horizontally) but I can already say it works as a "soundtrack to work" too... It's definitely gonna stay within hand reach anyway. Thanks for the excellent work.

Denis - I'll send you copies along with mine in the new mix swap - 1 cd or 3, the difference in postage isn't much.
vilainde Posted - 06/16/2005 : 11:36:52
Damn! OBW always has the best tracklists and it seems I'll never get his mixes. I'm doomed! Come on, sign up for this one!

i'm sorry denis, i've been meaning to give it a really good listen and post a review, but between moving and my friend's nuptials next week, i've been running around like a maniac - i PROMISE i will listen to it this weekend and post a review

PS - where are the last 3 discs OBW, Remi and Gypsy?

I'm gonna try one last time to revive this thread and ask for more reviews... I didn't get any for my mix, and I don't know if it's because it was so unlistenable that people don't want to make me feel bad by talking shit about it, or if it's just by lack of time/motivation.
Meanwhile I'll listen to sarah's and post my review - I swear!

STAY AWAY FROM M83 AT ALL COSTS!! Once you'll hear them you'll regret having entered this thread in the first place. Then your brain will melt from the horror that is their music and you'll end your life as a miserable vegetable. Look what it did to Cheeseman!

Yeah, they're French. This and the "how come the french are so smart" thread make me want to ask the mexican nationality right now.

I only know a couple of tracks really. More like classical structures, I dunno.

I'll leave yer man Vilain to comment.

benji Posted - 05/20/2005 : 08:58:32
well, if denis likes 'em, they must be either very good, or french. which is it?

rachels - seen their album souvlaki around for pretty dirt cheap recently.
and classical as in rock instruments with orchestra instruments, or classical as in classical instruments only?

Cheeseman1000 Posted - 05/20/2005 : 08:56:10
I reckon so. Apl knows more about Rachel's, it's kind of more classical.

M83 I love - I saw them live recently, amazing. Denis likes 'em.


As serious as your life
benji Posted - 05/20/2005 : 08:53:15
there's a couple of bands on there that i haven't actually heard anything by.
m83 (tho heard lots) and rachels (well i did about 8 years ago)
what they like?

think your comp and mine from the first go would fit together very nicely.

also, govern comm is worth the price solely for the version of helicon 1. such an improvement over the album version, and the best version they've ever played or recorded apparently.

Cheeseman1000 Posted - 05/20/2005 : 08:50:20
I'd recommend the Low album anyway, it's absolutely superb. Yes, it's 'heavier' I guess, but still quality.
I'll have to look into Government Commissions as well then, cheers dude.

benji Posted - 05/20/2005 : 08:35:35
the low 3cd box set is amazing.
the calibre of their b-sides and discarded tracks is amazing.
disc 2 is my favourite.
i bought it online when i was in london for 13 pounds including delivery. i've see it over here for $85 australian. blasphemous.

the new low album is much heavier isn't it?
that has kinda put me off it for some reason - i just love the slow stuff, ie secret name.

i actually think all the tickets have already gone for sigur ros anyways....

government comissions is actually an excellant album. kinda plays like a best of, since they don't have one...except it couldn't be a best of without fear satan.
all the tracks are so quiet until the 18minute like herod kicks in and somply blows your ears out of your head.
apparently they only recorded it that long to piss of steve lamacq (the bbc presenter) because he'd said some disparaging words about the band and wanted him to suffer thru playing an 18minute track on his show.

and is that the entire gybe! track on there?


Join the Cult of Cartman! Respect my Authoritaah!!!

Yep, the Low one's off the new (very excellent album). Worth getting. I don't have the box set yet, but I'll look into it.

I have all the standard Mogwai albums now I think, except Government Commissions - it half counts though, so I will get it.

I don't think I can make Sigur Ros, which is a bummer.

Thats about 6 minutes of it - if you download the track from epitonic.com, it's a nicely edited condensed version.

Surfer Rosa Posted - 05/11/2005 : 09:16:57
Those are brave brave words Denis - now I'm tempted as hell just to check if you're right.

Brian - reading back through this I must commend you on the Desert Sessions replacement. I'd forgotten that we'd almost had a duplication of tracks and glancing at my itunes - track 13 has 4 big fat stars next to it and is the track that has been played the most out of your mix (along with Squirrel Nut Zipper)
vilainde Posted - 05/11/2005 : 09:11:09
How long should we wait before considering them definitely lost? I'd hate to have to burn another batch of CDs, took me ages the first time, but I'll do it if I have to.

Nic, I understand your position. If you want to do something that you know will change your life forever (such as listening to my mix), you obviously try to wait for the perfect time and place to do so. A bit like your first sexual experience. And then one day you'll throw a party, get drunk, and the following morning you'll discover you put the CD in the stereo during the night and you don't have any recollection of it...

Surfer Rosa Posted - 05/11/2005 : 09:02:54
I have yours Denis - but I've not listened to it yet. I find the mix cds hard to listen to at work for the first time - need to listen at home alone where I can give my full attention to them without distractions. I've just not had the chance lately. Sorry. I can't even promise (again) to listen to them over the weekend because I know it's going to be a full and silly one. I will get round to them all though - every one of the genres/mixes so far has interested me. It might not be the kind of thing I'd choose to listen to myself, but I've found some of my favourite artists by being forced into listening to something else.

Someone dug the other CD Swap thread, so I figured I'd do the same with this one. There hasn't been any news in quite a long time now. I still haven't received the mixes by Scott, Sarah, Mel & Remi, and it looks like those in the USA haven't got mine either. It sucks. I hope they're not definitely lost. Anyway, given that no one said a word about my CD, those who don't have it are probably happier...
