515A The Accessible Side of Difficult Music




I have always loved a wide variety of styles of music.  Some of my favorite tracks to seek out are those diamonds in the rough on what is usually classified as difficult music.  Over these six mixes I took several of the compilations I have of some more hard to get into music, the kind I usually don't play when friends are around, and selected three tracks off each.  There were a couple where I only selected one or two tracks.  I then split them into three camps: post-punk/no-wave, ambient/electronics, & strange/odd.  Each grouping ended up with one track off each comp.  I then split those in half due to length and the result is six wonderfully strange and engaging mixes that I feel turned out really well.  This all started with me wanting to hear "
Nostalgie Eternelle - A Perfect Situation" again, but not remembering which comp it was on.  

Welcome to the Accessible Side of Difficult Music

Here is a list of the compilations I sourced for these tracks.




On to the track listing for the first mix:

09:06  Madensuyu - Thread On, Thread Light
13:56  Kill Ugly Pop - Let's Get Real Gone
17:26  White Stains - Let It Be Thus
22:03  High Volture - Broken Word
27:23  Jack Dangers - A Strange Case of Instrumentation
30:39  Matmos - A Song For The Appeal
34:13  The Dirt Eaters - No Xpressway
37:21  Hood - Hood Vs Aube
40:01  The Wellwater Conspiracy - The Far Side of the Moon
43:12  Seven That Spells - Terminus East
48:13  The Legendary Pink Dots - A Moustache on the Mona Lisa and Other Things You May Find in the Neighbour's Trash
51:37  Nostalgie Eternelle - A Perfect Situation
