Also, sorry for being anonymous... I thought we weren't meant to reveal who we were until you posted who everyone had sent to, or something. I probably just got confused.

Well Im not revealing until after every has sent them. Entirely upto you really although you've given yourself away now :)

I didn't include a tracklisting on mine either.

Got mine today. :P

I've had a quick listen and I really like the track by 'Souls of Mischief'. I'll certainly be getting some more of their stuff. Really good selection and I'm really looking forward to sitting down and giving it a proper listen at the weekend.

My CD will be sent out tomorrow and I've gone for the theme of summertime soul. But where's the sun?? :(

has DAVID HEATH received the rubbishest compilation in the world yet?

I got it this morning; just played it. I think your compilation is brill. Theres a couple of tracks I really, really like, though I'm not quite sure what they're called. One of them is a kind of 'Moby-esque' tune near the end. I also like that French hip-hop track. I've not heard it before but I'm guessing its the Saian Supa Crew? A couple of the tracks aren't the sort of thing I normally listen to, but they definitely kept me interested. Most of the songs are excellent.

Anyway, thanks a lot. I look forward to listening to it some more.

:: thumbs-up ::

EDIT: Oh, and whats that track right at the end that samples that 'Summer In The City' song that Quincy Jones did (which I happened to put on my mix funnily enough)? Was it any of theses or something else:

Black Moon's "Reality"

Dobie's "Basement Rock"

El Da Sensei's "Where Ya At ?"

Fu-Schnickens's "Check it Out"

Joe ft Mystikal's "Stutter"

Nightmares on Wax's "Nights Introlude"

Peanut Butter Wolf's "Run the Line"

I love that tune.

EDIT EDIT: Oh, and I fucking LOVE that Brian Eno song.

: )

Surely the point of these CD's is to given the recipient something new, new sounds, new bands/artists/DJ's. I would never search to see what the recipient's musical tastes are, obviously from reading posts I'd have some idea of what they like/dislike.

I looked at his musical taste after I'd made the CD. I wouldn't have changed it even if I didn't think it would fit.

As for the obscurity thing, well, my mainstream is another mans obscure, so who knows!

Wow! Someones got the same tastes as me, I could've easily recorded a compilation just like that. Well done Duncan, I could quite happily have that playing in my car. The only bands/artists I've never heard are mikabomb, Saian supa crew, and Sparklehorse.

[quote name='Strawp' date='Jul 16 2004, 02:03 PM'] These sound great! I want Duncan to do me one now! <_< [/quote]
Same here. He may be rubbish but he can sure knock a compilation together with considerable aplomb.

I'd love to do one for the next round but like Strawp, it tends to take me ages (in my case, I end up going all [i]concept album[/i] and concoct a rubbish storyline - which no one ever picks up on - to link all the songs together)

I got Stebbos then. SMART move putting the tracklisting onto a floppy disc, I'm going to have to send my 'other half' it once I know they've gotten it. I'm not even lucky enough to have a printer that's out of action.

I've it CD Texted, so if your player supports that...yay.

Hey David what do you think of track 10, Carl Craig's 'At Les'? Just wondering, as it's a classic track and one of my favourites.

Takes a little time to get going, but I do like those sort of songs. The sort of songs that don't feel the need to rush you through from A to B; rather spending some time at A before progressing slowly onto something else that you can actually take the time to enjoy much more. It is a great song and just another reason why I am loving my mixtape (thanks Duncan).

My favourite song is the Brian Eno one, though I was already familiar with the tune and was considering using it in my own tape at some point in the future.

Okay, I got two discs of coolness. :(

jrisgod's:

1)Street Fighter 2 - Round Numbers

2)Beethoven's 5th - The VHB

3)Let Me Down Easy - Rare Pleasure

4)Ain't it Funky Now - James Brown

5)The One-Tet - Jazzanova

6)Jet Generation - Guitar Wolf

7)Nuno - Prefuse 73

8)Saliva - MF Doom

9)Turkish Revenge - Rocket from the Crypt

10)New New York - Tes

11)Big Bird - Eddie Floyd

12)Get Up (and got to school) - Pookey Blow

13)Like You - Gramome

14)(Nothin' Serious) Just Biggin' - Whistle

15)Music us Love - David Crosby

16)Cvalda - Bjork

17)Party till you Puke - Andrew WK

18)Could you be? - Vast Aire

19)10 Amazing Years - Jason Forrest

20)Dead Dogs Two - Clouddead (BoC remix)

It was mostly new to me, so off I went on a wee adventure (which is the point of it all, I guess :) )

Anyways, loved track 3 - I'd never heard the track Dave Morales lifted if for 'Needin' You'.

That James Brown track is just fucking class on a stick. More minimal and funkier than something very minimal and funky indeed. Aces.

Eddie Floyd's Big Bird is just the kinda floorfiller I've seen David Holmes pack them in with. Timeless.

And closing with BoC mix of Clouddead too was always gonna raise a smile.

A fun, eclectic combo of funky grooves and hip-hop attitude, then. Smart.

McNeillR's CD arrived today (or perhaps yesterday, I wasn't around). I was quite pleased (relieved?) to see it was from him, because I know he has good taste in music, and his mix doesn't disappoint... I haven't a clue what I'm listening to*, but it's all good stuff.

I particularly like track 1 (cool spoken-word thing), track 3 (cheesy and funky), track 9 (sing-along and summery), track 11 (happy but fragile) and track 13 (very silly), whatever they are.

One small complaint is that the three longest tracks on the CD right up front, making it a bit hard to get into, but once it gets going it's a great mix.

*Track 21 is The Postal Service - Such Great Heights; I think track 5 is Dogs Die in Hot Cars, but that's just a guess; Track 15 I swear I've heard before, but I can't place it. But that's it.

This is a great idea, but I'm no way organised to make one CD a month.

It's not quite in the spirit of the thing, but you could send the same CD out to different people each month (it might be interesting, even, to hear the different reactions).

If you were just looking for an excuse not to do it, though, pretend I didn't say that ;)

Anyway, I'm starting to compile my next one now. I'm going to have a theme this time, the last one was too random, IMO.

I thought your mix flowed pretty well tbh, great closer with Hope of the States.

Mine's going to be nothing but soul, funk and disco next time around to catch that summer vibe (even though it's pissing down with rain outside).

Sounds good to me. Here's an OCRemix-based CD I recently assembled(probably lousy sound quality, most are MP3 downloads):

JT Widman- One Man Army

SuperGreenX- Kick Your A

Star Salzman- Light at the End of the Tunnel Syndrome

Star Salzman- The Long Road to October

SuperGreenX- Tell Me a Story

SuperGreenX- 4F73R M3

Sal- MGS Main Theme (Piano)

DJ Redlight- Memoriam

Noir- Jenova For Classical Piano

Jeremy Soule- Squaresoft Variation

Disco Dan- Triforce Majeure

JT Widman- Fall From Above (You Can't Stop)

However, I have plenty of soundtrack, score, and miscellaneous stuff (Dave Matthews, Rob Dougan, Queen, Meatloaf) kicking around. I'll PM when I've made my mind up.
